Product description
Some cats are much easier to place into a basket from above than to coax in through a front door — and for those moments, a top-opening carrier makes all the difference. This classic wire basket is made from white powder-coated metal with a 1.3×2.5cm mesh, offering good airflow while keeping your cat secure.
The lid is held closed with a pin and opens fully from the top, making it simple to lower a reluctant cat in or lift them out for a vet examination without a struggle. Double handles make it straightforward to carry, and the overall dimensions — 46×30×28cm — give a decent amount of space for most cats.
- White powder-coated metal construction
- Top-opening with lid pin
- 1.3×2.5cm mesh
- 46×30×28cm (L×D×H)
- Double handle for comfortable carrying
Who it's for: Cats of all breeds who need regular vet visits or occasional travel — particularly useful for Maine Coons, British Shorthairs, Bengals, Ragdolls, and Domestic Shorthairs.
Why we chose it
Top-opening is the whole reason to buy this. Lowering a cat in beats pushing one through a front door, and the vet can lift the lid off entirely. Wire, 46 by 30 by 28cm, secured with a pin.
— Matt, founder
