(More customer reviews)I have found nothing in a search for custom cat carriers. Now, what's good for a dog is a Godsend for cats!
Our two 13-lb cat boys are miserable if not crated together during travel. Their hard-shelled medium dog crate was so heavy to lift by the center handle. I felt so sorry for them on 8-hour (or longer) trips. They couldn't see out except for the front or upper side slats; the crate was too small for a litter box, let alone for the two of them. One boy can't make it the first 1/2 mile, and the other can't make it the last 1/4 mile before they HAVE to go.
During one long trip, they were uncharacteristically fussy. To solve the issue of needing a litter box, I picked up one 40-lb Canvas Crate enroute and faced it to their hard-shelled crate, in which I put a disposable litter box (used during the last 1/4 mile as predicted!). This setup worked well but the two crate styles didn't join well.
I bought a second Canvas Crate days later and joined the two at the mesh door ends with heavy-duty Velcro to keep them securely together.
One crate for them; one for the litter box. They love the new setup! Airy and tall, they can walk around each other, and they sleep well when they aren't watching the world go by. Air flow is more than adequate. They get fresh air from the front, and the litter box smell (if used) gets pulled to the rear vent window until our next pit stop. No more pulling over to remove a soiled top layer of padding or trying to keep them in the crate while wiping one of them down.
Two canvas crates fit perfectly on top of the folded-down back seat in our SUV. In a car, we would get the next size down. Not a safe as a hard-shell crate in event of an accident, but the frame is very sturdy and easy to assemble.
They can now have a good breakfast on travel day, food and water during the trip, and I don't have to worry about crossed legs, the agony of "holding it until we get there" or if the trip takes longer than 8 hours.
We don't wait, why should our pets?
