I am looking to take in two kittens, will this work for them? I have school so I cannot be home with them all the time.

It would work. It's big enough for their food toys and bed but not a litter box. I'd suggest the large one for a litter box. Other than that this is wonderful.

I got it for my 3lb chihuahua puppy and its perfect for him. I would think it will be a perfect size for kittens

The play pen is lightweight, the sides are flexible and the pen easily folds in on itself. Two playful kittens would probably have the pen rolling all around or collapsing in on them, not to mention those sharp little claws getting caught in the mesh. I wouldn't recommend the pen for two frisky kitties. An older, small, lazy dog, perhaps, if you can figure out a way to keep the sides from folding in.

Yes as long as its near something sturdy so that the kitten won't be able to knock it over while inside.

Yes that would work my puppies nails get caught in the mesh would probably get caught worse for kittens.

It would be perfect for that. I love that the top zips so they can't get out.

Right now I have 2 kittens using it and they are 5 and 7 lbs respectively. They are both on it at the same time with no problems. I think it's more a matter of length than weight with this set up. The little paw platform is a bit on the small side since it doesn't have any borders but the cubby and the bed would fit a larger cat easily. One suggestion with a larger cat tho would be to go with a different configuration than is shown. I noticed that a few other folks did this and I followed suit. It just seems the with the bed at the top it's really tall and being a narrow set up would be more inclined to be thrown off by too much activity. Sorry for the long response, just wanted to be thorough. Right now I have 2 kittens using it and they are 5 and 7 lbs respectively. They are both on it at the same time with no problems.

That's a similar size to the cat I got it for -- if you want it to transport your cat short distances it would be fine. I got it to use as a "time out" crate when he does his latest trick of knocking things off the kitchen counter all night long no matter how many times I get up to stop him, for that it is too small because he can not comfortable lay down stretched out (in theory he could be locked up all night). For going to the vet or grandma's house it should work perfectly for you. Hope this helps.

We use it for our puppy and it works very well. For a cat, I could see it working but he/she may be able to climb up it since it has little holes (like mesh) for the walls. It is very sturdy so if you didn't mind them climbing, I think it would work great!

I started our kitten out with Littermaid and had no problem. You might want to let it run a couple times to let the kitten get used to the noise and movement. Kittens tend to play around quite a bit in the box and if it turns on before they are done it might scare them into not wanting to go back in. If it is a really small kitten I would recommend using another box for a short time just till they get used to litter.

There is no information on Petmate's website regarding this. It just states that it can hold up to 20 lbs. Looking at my 9.5 lb kitty, I don't see how I could fit two of her inside....maybe if both cats were a long, thin 10 lbs. It would also depend upon how long you wanted to carry the two together. A very short trip might work fine but the kitties would get very cramped on a long trip. I'd recommend viewing the measurements and measuring the length, width and height of your kitties to find your answer.

Never too big! I hope you've brought home your kitten, and your cat tree, and both are living in harmony. Maybe you have decided to get kitty a brother or sister by now? They are lots more fun in twos (or threes or fours)...........

I never did that but I assume you would cage the stray continually for a week or more to see if they can get along after the curiosity stage wears off. It can be hard for two males to adopt to each other, and you can see if they will spray etc. Sometimes strays turn into good household cats, more often than not they remain fidgety and hide, etc.

Mine had two kittens that will care will grow into cats. So I guess it may be different for each customer.

If the kittens are big enough to climb into and out of the litter box, or you teach them to use the ramp, it is definitely safe to use with your kittens. It has sensors so it will not move if there is a kitty using the litter box. Also, you can run it manually (by turning the power off, then on just to rake it, then turn it off again), if you are concerned about their using it and being safe.

As long as they are friendly with each other they should have plenty of room. I have 2 10lbs cats who will jump in one and play together with plenty of room.

I used it for my ferret. I think that kittens can tear the mesh up eventually. You might just have to keep an eye out on them while they are in it.

Yes it will. There is room for two ten pound cats. I have two cats and they each weigh ten pounds. If the two cats get along with each other it will be fine.

Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts. I might cover the bottom with soft blankets or something just in case they fall from the top (if they are climbers.) Some cats prefer different materials, but any cat can be trained not to scratch things as long as they have something they can. They do make kitten claw covers (soft paws, I think.) You have to trim the nails, then you basically glue these caps onto their nails. They should last until the claw's sheath comes off, which is natural. The time that takes can vary. I heard they usually last about a month. Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts.

I think this would work best for only one or two cats. Although I am not so sure the cats would enjoy being confined in a crate.

Yes it should be find for 2 cats. My cats didn't care for it, but it was big enough for both of them.

I do not think it would be suitable because the kittens would be right next to the litter box. Later they might fall from the shelves. Tiny kittens could get their heads stuck too. A room of their own or a barrier that the mother cat, but not the kittens could cross would be better
