Morning Beanie
Sorry, I've no idea about cat carriers but looking for one is one step nearer to bringing her home
Have a lovely day. xx

This is the style we used most successfully. We also had wicker ones that the cats could get out of. Just be aware that this one from Pets ant Home is quite small (31 x 51 x 34cm) - Argos do one the same style for £19.99, or Amazon for about £15. My cats have always been like Simon's Cat if you know the cartoons, with a six point star (yes, tail and heat fully extended) being achieved every time the carrier is spotted, so none of the lovely bags work for usSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2226.88/£3000 or 74.23% of my annual spend so far

Hi Beanie, bet you're looking forward to sitting in your new conservatory with your new addition. 😊
The cat carrier we use is like this one and is particularly useful as the top and bottom can be completely separated. Our BSH boy is very shy with people he doesn't know (especially men) and won't come out of the box once we're at the vets, so it's great to have the option of taking the top off.Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

I have tried all types over the years & it is always a blooming nightmare.
Do either of you have a water fountain? If so is it worth buying one?
It is my birthday this month & if so I will ask for one as a present.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Hello,
we use a Top opening wire cat carrier so they can see all around them, and I’ve given up on water fountains as they clog up so quickly and constantly need cleaning.... not worth the hassleExciting but tiring week ahead... take care of yourself xxx
ps we forget to celebrate months to mortgage free is in single digits 😁As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
Fake it, to you Make It
