Does anyone know where I can buy a Crush Cage for a feral cat?

I have recently adopted a (very) feral cat. I was fostering her when she had kittens and want to give her a safe home with me.
I borrowed a wire cage for her trip to the vet to be speyed, but that has to go back now. However, I want to buy one in case she gets sick and needs to go back in a hurry.
Does anyone know why I can buy these?
It's a wire basket with a section you push over to 'crush' the cat (gently!) so the vet can administer a sedative to enable them to examine the cat without getting hurt.
Also - does anyone know how to de-flea a feral cat? I'm thinking maybe I can use the cage for this too?

Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

Your Vet will probably be able to get hold of one from their drug wholesaler.Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree!

Yeah they would probably mark up the price by 1000% though knowing my vet! Thanks, it's a good fall back option anyway. :jLess stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
