- Dimensions and Weight Limit: Our TSA airline-approved cat carrier measures 17"L x 11"W x 11"H, accommodating pets weighing up to 17 lbs. It's important to consider your pet's length and height for the best fit, rather than just weight. If your pet is still growing, opt for a larger size. This carrier conforms to the under-seat requirements of major airlines including American Airlines and Delta Air, making it ideal for travel with your furry companion. - Safety Features: Constructed from durable polyester with a sturdy steel frame, this carrier maintains its shape even during long trips. It includes an internal tether with a self-locking metal zipper to keep your pet secure and comfortable throughout the journey. - Comfort and Ventilation: Designed with an openable top and three mesh windows, this carrier promotes airflow and reduces anxiety by providing views of the outside. The removable and washable soft fleece pad ensures maximum comfort for your pet, while any stains or dirt on the carrier's surface can be easily cleaned with a soft brush. - Versatile Transportation: Carry your pet comfortably using the padded shoulder strap or the loop handles, offering flexibility as a tote or shoulder bag. The adjustable strap facilitates hands-free carrying, making it one of the most convenient pet carriers for travel. External pockets provide easy access to food, leashes, bags, and other essentials. When not in use, the carrier conveniently collapses for compact storage. Practical Use Scenarios: 1. On a weekend trip: Easily transport your cat while meeting airline requirements. 2. Visiting the vet: Keep your pet calm and secure during appointments. 3. Weekend getaway: Pack your pet's essentials in the external pockets while ensuring comfort with the soft fleece pad.
