Will this work on a metal crate? I am driving cross country with two cats in a metal crate and want to create some extra space for them. TY!

As long as the dimensions are correct I think it should work. The only thing that may be a problem is the cat crib uses rubber coated straps for friction and the small metal bars may not create enough friction to keep it from slipping down. If there are rungs horizontally on the crate then that would keep it from sliding down.

This might work, depending on the crate. However, I suspect that one of the hammocks being sold that has 4 clips instead of velcro straps would work better for you. They are what our cat rescue uses in the cages at adoption fairs.

I don't really know although I imagine you can put the strips around a few bars as long as the width corresponds to the suggested size parameters. You can always order one and if it doesn't work return the item. My cats do like the hammock. I have seen cages w/hammocks in them at pet adoption shows.Good luck and safe travels.

I don't think so I had nods on my chair so the velcro straps were able to stay above that point and they didn't slip all the way down but when I tried it was at a chair with no bump they didn't have anything to grip and they fell.

you know it probably would better than under most tables. as long as the crate had some sort of hole to loop it thru. Safe traveling.

not sure what you are asking; we put metal dog crates on these and it was awful; unsteady, didn't roll well; had to remove and not use them again

The crate we have is extra size so not good for moving around. But for 11lb cat the small or medium size would probably work out well. Very durable and secure.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

Could definitely fit and be able to move fairly freely but the floor of the crate is not sturdy at all. My 11 lb cat makes it sag when carrying him in it. It isn't comfortable carrying it. If on the floor it's fine.

Hi Kris, I used it for a cross country drive with two cats. It was perfect. It is pretty large and small dogs will be able to walk from one side to the other, but it is secure. You strap it to the headrests in the backseats. If you have to brake suddenly they will stay on the seat. I highly recommend it. One of my cats had an accident while in it and it cleaned right off easily with out soaking in.

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.

I would have to say, "No", at least for transport. I have two cats, and I just don't think they'd be comfortable confined together in the small size carrier that I have (I bought it for my Papillon). It's a really nice carrier though so a larger size might work if your cats get along really well (mine don't).

You will not be able to fly two cats in the same kennel, regardless of the size. It's against the airline regulations. However, if you were doing everyday transport, two cats could fit. I bought one of these for each of my cats and they worked great!

It would work in the back, but because of the cylindrical shape it would need to be anchored to something so it wouldn't roll back and forth with pet movement and car motion. I use mine for 2 Bengal cats and absolutely love it. They do not mind traveling at all.

My largest cat is 18 or 19 pounds and this crate fits him with room to spare. Cats mostly curl up in it (I put a mat on the bottom), so I don't think your cat's measurements would be a problem for short trips. My only concern would be the handle's ability to hold the weight. You might want to tie a strap around it for extra security.

We have two crates, both for small dogs. It would be too small for anything larger than a medium sized dog (a Cocker Spaniel).

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.

For quick trips, this carrier would work. But to make your cat more comfortable, I would go with this carrier (sold on Amazon) Petmate Kennel Cab in the "Large" size it's 26.2 inches long x 18.6 wide x 16.5 inches high for pets up to 15 inches tall. I'm going to try and give you the link, I'm not sure if they will publish a link. If not, just do a search for the exact name above and you will find it.

I havnt thought of that. But I can see that working.I don't have any way to do that with my so I'm going to get another one to expand my space. And my dogs love it. . It gets them outdoors. The only problem I have is a way to secure it to the ground. Glad to help you out. Nickie

I put them on a 36" crate for a 16lb cat and they work well. You may need more than 4 wheels for a larger crate and heavier pet.

This is pretty large. I purchased it for my cat's crate for traveling purposes. I was disappointed that it was too large for my medium crate but works great in the larger size. Hope this helps.
