Whether it’s a quick vet visit, a road trip or moving house, your cat needs a secure, well-ventilated cat carrier that they actually feel calm in. Our collection at Pets Gear brings together hard-shell carriers, soft cat carrier bags, airline-style crates and cute tote-style options so every Aussie cat owner can pick the right size, entry style and budget – without compromising on safety.

Shop Carriers for Every Cat

• Pet carriers for cats – everyday carriers for vet, groomer or cattery.
• Large cat carrier – extra room for big breeds or nervous cats that prefer to turn around.
• Soft cat travel carrier – lightweight, folds flat, ideal for car use.
• Cat travel cage / cat transport cage – sturdier, better for longer drives.
• Kitten carrier – smaller, cozy and easier to carry.

All are chosen for good airflow, escape-resistant zips/doors and easy cleaning – essential if your cat gets car-sick or stressed.

What to Look For in a Cat Carrier

1. Size & Weight

Your cat should be able to stand, turn and lie down. If you searched for “cat carriers for large cats” or “big cat carrier,” pick the next size up.

2. Entry Style

Top-load = less struggling at the vet. Front-load = better for car trips. Some models have both.

3. Comfort & Visibility

Cats like to see out but still feel covered. Soft walls, mesh windows and a removable mat help anxious cats travel calmer.

FAQs – Cat Carriers

1. What size cat carrier do I need?

Measure nose-to-base-of-tail and add a few cm. Your cat should be able to turn around easily.

2. Soft or hard cat carrier?

Soft = lighter, comfier, good for cars. Hard = sturdier, better for vet visits with reactive cats.

3. How do I get my cat used to the carrier?

Leave it open at home with a blanket and treats inside – make it part of the furniture first.

4. Can I use these for kittens?

Yes. Just add a towel or pad so they don’t slide around.

5. Are these OK for long car trips?

Yes – choose a well-ventilated cat travel cage, secure it with a seatbelt, and stop for water breaks.
