Airline Carrier For Cats

Airline Carriers for Cats:

Airline carriers for cats are designed to provide a secure, enclosed travel space when your cat needs to travel by air. This collection includes rigid cat travel carriers in several sizes, along with accessories for preparing and handling pet crates. Options range from compact XSmall and Small carriers for pets up to 5kg to larger carriers that may suit bigger cats where additional internal space is required.

Selected carriers in the range are IATA compliant and meet Air Cargo requirements. These models feature wing nut fasteners, an easy-to-use door catch, an integrated floor moat to catch liquid and a water dish. The XSmall carrier measures 51 x 34 x 33cm, while the Small measures 56 x 37 x 34cm, with both having a stated maximum pet weight of 5kg.

Choosing the Right Cat Airline Carrier:

Fit is one of the most important considerations when selecting an airline cat carrier. Your cat should be able to stand upright inside the crate, lie down without being cramped and turn around. Measuring your cat before choosing a carrier is therefore more reliable than selecting a size based on labels such as Small or Medium alone.

For larger cats, the collection includes a 61 x 40 x 41cm Medium honeycomb carrier with a maximum capacity of 10kg. This model is specifically listed as suitable for large cats and combines a sturdy, lightweight build with all-round vision, honeycomb ventilation, an improved door latch mechanism and an easy-to-clean design.

Cat Carrier Accessories for Air Travel:

The range also includes accessories that can be used with airline pet crates, including kennel cups, a 380ml kennel drinker and a set of four airline carrier wheels. These allow you to select useful additions separately according to your carrier and travel requirements.

Before flying with your cat, check the specific pet carrier requirements of your chosen airline. It is also useful to introduce the carrier before the journey so your cat has time to become familiar with it. A familiar toy or blanket can be placed inside during this preparation period, while ensuring your cat is well hydrated before its flight.
