Van Ness VN00494 Cat Calm Carrier with Easy Drawer

I saw this on a YouTube short and immediately ordered it. Its like a drawer and outsmarts the cat that knows you are trying to shove them in the carrier. Great product!

Looks great, easy to assemble. Haven't used it yet but it's better than how I had to put my little girl in 🐱

This sliding tray carrier is saving bruised arms and calming scared cats very effectively. It is strong, very well made and easy to assemble. The company has responded very promptly and politely to my request for a missing handle which likely got lost when packaging. Don't hesitate to buy one.

As always, an excellent, seamless experience. I ordered two cat carriers that arrived well-packaged and undamaged before the estimated delivery date. The carriers themselves are a godsend-- no more wrestling with my cats (with a bad back) to get them into a carrier. What a clever idea!

I think my cat likes the ride when I slide the drawer in or out of the carrier. This is so much less stressful than when I used to have to coax and shove her into her old carrier. The plastic carrier is sturdy enough to carry my 13lb kitty but my only complaint is that the plastic isn't hard enough for the locking mechanism to line up properly with the carrier on a consistent basis, making the door lock finicky to use - you really have to pay attention to make sure that the lock is closed properly and can be potentially frustrating when trying to get your cat into the carrier quickly. Nonetheless, my cat seems to love this carrier!

The bolts that came with the carrier to put it together are incorrect, they do not fit nor do they screw in correctly. They are the wrong bolts for the product. I have used duct tape to put it together.

Great Idea but it didn't work for us when we tried to bring home our adopted 9yr old Siamese brothers. I think these would work if used on your pet who trusted you.

The crate is good, but when I opened the package, one of screws was missing… I have to buy a new one in Home Depot. Not easy to find a same one :(

A bit finicky to assemble but seems sturdy enough when closed and locked. One of the plastic screw tops did not screw down onto the metal screw. Substituted with a proper nut and it was fine. The cats seem to like the carrier as they just jump into the tray and it's easy to slide open and closed. Will work fine for vet visits or short car trips.

I really wanted this carrier to work. I really did. But there is no way the gate piece will sit in and stay in. It just falls out. The top cover doesn't give enough clearance so you have to separate the top and bottom pieces at the gate in order for the “drawer” to close and keep your pet in. Otherwise, the gate falls out.
