Travel And Safety
Easy To Use Cat Carriers
We stock a range of easy to use cat carriers. Whether you are traveling by car, bus, train or plane, we can help with a cat carrier that will transport your cat in safety and comfort.
Our Ferplast Atlas 20 Pet Transport Carrier range are easy to carry thanks to the strong fixed handle and are made from solid and durable plastic. The side air panels offer optimal air flow and the door closes from the outside with clips, to avoid accidental opening during travel. The carriers are spacious and allow your pet to stand up during the journey to drink, eat, move, scratch or stretch. They are also simple to disassemble and reassemble for cleaning.
Our AUTO Pet Transport Carrier range comes with a removable inner cushion for easy cleaning. The simple click/unclick mechanism makes them easy to assemble and can be dismantled for storage. They come with a compatible safety belt attachment, where the seat belt of the car can be attached to the crate to secure the crate during car travel. They are also easy to clean using mild detergent and clear rinse water, or simply wipe over.
Getting a Stubborn Cat Into a Carrier
It can be challenging to get an unwilling cat into a cat carrier. Fear is often the driving factor in this situation. Try creating a safe and relaxing environment with a favourite toy or familiar blanket to reinforce a positive experience.
It helps to get your cat used to the experience from an early age. As most cats will need to be transported safely at some point, allow your cat time to get familiar with the carrier on a regular basis and use it as a place to play, eat or sleep while at home. You can try placing treats or a catnip toy in the carrier and leave the door open so your cat can (hopefully) sneak in and see what is on offer.
Choosing the right carrier size is important for your cat's comfort and safely while traveling. A carrier that is large enough to allow your cat the freedom to stand up to drink, eat, turn around, scratch or stretch is wise. At the same time, a carrier that is too large for their size could result in injury if the cat moves around too much and they may not feel secure.
