Cat carriers to keep your cat safe while travelling

Advert: January 2025

Travelling with a cat isn’t an everyday experience for most of us. So, when our feline friends need to take a trip, whether to the vet or for holiday care, it can become a stressful event instead of a calm journey.    

To discover how to make travelling with your cat easier and safer, please visit our guides to travelling with your cat and cat carrier training. 

One of the ways to support your feline friend as they travel is to use the right cat carrier. Choosing a cat carrier that meets your feline friend’s needs is important, because if they’re comfortable with their cat carrier, they’ll feel happier while travelling. For example, your cat should be able to stand up and turn around in their carrier, and it needs to be secure as well as easy to clean. 

As inspiration, and to help you find the pawfect product for your feline friend, we’ve selected three super cat carriers to highlight fantastic features you might want to look out for…
