I have a 15 lb cat that I am looking to purchase for. How many pounds does this hold?

I agree with Leslie's answer: my cat is fairly large (14 lbs) and this carrier is great for short trips to the vet, but I would not use it on a long trip. I would look for something larger.

I don't have the offical specs, buy I've put my 13 lb one in there with no issues and room/weight to spare, just carry it from the bottom as much as you can to be sure. Also, if your cat is curious/smart, he may be able to override the top closure which is held in place by velcro, be sure to put a safety pin in it. My kitten managed to get himself out of it while I was driving...

absolutely your cat will fit my older cat is 14 pounds and she fits ... and it's much lighter than a plastic carrier so basically you're only carrying cat not the all the extra plastic

The box for LARGE size says it is "ideal for pets up to 20 lbs." and the size of the animal they give is 8 inch (20 cm) high by 17 inch (43 cm) long. I have a 16 lbs large size cat (he is not fat), and there is plenty of room for him in this carrier.

I bought this carrier for my female cat who weighs approx. 10 lbs. Although it is a comfortable fit for her, there is not an abundance of extra room. She can stand briefly, turn around, and sit back down. She did make a three day trip (NY to FL) but she was sedated and therefore did not move around much. In answer to the question, I think - depending upon whether you want your cat to be able to move around - this carrier might prove a bit too small.

I don't think it would hold a 20 lb cat. I bought it for a 9 lb dog and it's great. I also have a 23 lb cat and I wouldn't use it for him. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure but my cat is 12 lbs and it opens on that due to flaw in construction. I'm sure it can't hold that much more weight.

I believe it said it can hold to 20 lbs. Our cat is 16 lbs and he seemed to be fine. It's relatively new for us...so it doesn't stink. Can't answer that question.

Maybe a small dog that isn't too rough. My largest cat is 15 pounds and he has no problem using it.

It should be fine. I have one cat who is 15 pounds and another that is 6. They can be on there together without any problem.

One of my cats is 14 lbs and there is plenty of room. Mine fight over the too also

I'm not sure. I have a 13 lb cat and he fits through. He doesn't have a lot of room when going through but I would guess a 15 lb cat can get in and out. Just an aside - the door is really well-made and was relatively easy to install. We are very happy with our purchase.

I have 4 cats all between 10-16 lbs. It is not sturdy at all. I have a 40lb sand bag laying on the base to hold if in place. I would recommend spending a little more on a larger unit with a wider base.

My cat is 15.9 lbs This Kitty sill works perfectly. use the screws to hold it in place Definitely

That is a good question, I put the heavier cats on the bottom, any where from 10 to 17 lbs and the lighter ones on top........I would think you could go 20 lbs, it is really quite durable and strong, wondeful for Vet trips and just walks...hope that helps a little....have fun....

The inside is 12" and the middle shelf is cut in half so the cat can go up and down while inside. My cat is 11 pounds and it seems he barely makes it. I don't think is big enough for a 16 pound cat. They may not use the house part too much anyway. I love the rest of it. Very sturdy. The top shelf/bed is also on the smaller side. .i think 13 inches.

I just leave it loose. My older cat weighs 15lbs at the max. I am thinking about using some Velcro to put it together but for now... I haven't seen any issues. Hope this helps.

This stroller seems to be designed to safely transport pets up to 15 lbs each. I use it to bring my 15 & 23 lb cats on short visits to the vet. It holds up just fine with that weight when the carriers are fixed and supported by the stroller (big guy on bottom), but I would only use the carrier on it's own for up to 15 lbs. The base of each carrier is only made of stiff cardboard covered in vinyl, and would bend and collapse with too much weight.

My cat weighs 16 lbs and it is a close fit for him. This is the largest carrier I found.

I have a 22pound cat and it works fine for him. I don't know the official weight but hopes this helps.

In my opinion this would NOT be substantial enough for an animal that weight. Even 75# might be pushing it. It is more the stability of it and step size that I would worry about. My cat is about 15# and I had 19# cat that I would not have used this size for.
