Review: Orla Approved - The first time she went to the vet, she cried for the first 2 mins and then she was looking all over the place interested in where she was going. It's held up very well and stayed clean. I've had it for quite awhile now. I just have to wipe it down every so often. It was so easy to put together. Took me only a couple mins and it was definitely worth the money. The color is wonderful too. She fits perfect in it. Just enough room for her. She's gotten a little bigger since she was in it in August but she goes in it every so often to chill. They quality is really nice too.
Review: I give it an A+++ - This is a very well-built kennel. My partner had it assembled in two shakes of a kitten’s tail. It comes with three extra screws and screw caps, which is generous and will come in handy. It was easy to transport from one room to another in the house. It’s got the type of door that a water bowl (not included) can be attached to with 2 screws and wing nuts. A shallow bowl would be best for a small animal. The door opens easily. I love the grey and black color. I bought mine for a small 8-9 week old kitten with an injured growth plate. He needs to remain confined. This kennel is the perfect size for him. The best thing is that litter boxes for small animals fit right inside in the back horizontally and don’t take up much room. They can even be slid in and out for easy cleaning without having to tip them, angle them or remove the door! I’ve had my kitten inside his kennel for 3 hours straight now and he hasn’t made a peep. He played, slept, ate, used his litter box and is sleeping again. I think he actually likes it. His kennel is on my bed where he can see me. I hope you learn more about this quality kennel from my photos and video.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how tall is the intermediate size carrier?  The written description says 14.5 in, but the product detail says 8.5 in high.**
A: It is 14.5 inches high. I transport my cats who are between 6 to 12 pounds to the vet in these carriers.

**Q: What are the 3 measurements in inches?**
A: These are the inside measurements.....which are the most important when considering room for a pet :     18 1/2 in. front to back,......10 in. side-to-side,.....and 11 1/2 in. high inside the carrier.  Hope this helps.

**Q: can a 12lb cat fit in there comfortably?**
A: I haven't yet used my Pet Taxi, but I believe that a 12 lb. cat would fit ok......but forany cat larger that that, I would get a bigger carrier.

**Q: Does this come with live animal printed on the side(s)?  Is it fairly easy to contract and do you need any tools?**
A: No lettering, but should be easy enough with a stencil or brush.  No tools were needed to assemble this.  Nice solid unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by A***Z on January 21, 2026*

This crate is nicely made and good quality. Big enough for my Chihuahua. It’s easy to put your pet inside and the door stays put. The cost is reasonable. I only put my baby in the crate when I’m away because she gets into things when I leave.
