Anywhere in Ireland I can buy a top opening cat transfer cage?

As it says in the title really. I noticed that Jazzy walked away from the cooked chicken I gave him earlier and he never does that. He's had a lot of problems with his teeth and he'd a few out last year. Last time we had to get him to the vet, by chance we had borrowed one from a rescue to transfer a stray, but we really need one of our own. Buying one from the Uk is expensive and I'd prefer to get one online from somewhere in Ireland. I just want one so we have it in case of emergencies with him as he reverts to feral behaviour if we try to confine him.

I have this one & find it great, it's a bit bigger than the standard ones too so a bit more space for the cat

It's this kind of thing that I'm looking for



The medium sized one I think, would do it, or something simillar.:)

Don't buy those particular ones in the photo, I did as they were on sale and they were way too flimsy for a cat, even when cable-tied.

Then this might be a fit.

That's some vicious cat if you had to cable-tie it :pac::pac:

Petmania has plastic baskets that open at the top, think they come three different sizes - handiest thing i ever bought!

Where they this model or this one? Because the second one, Nobby, I looked at in person and found to feel a bit to flimsy for my taste; the frist one I've not been able to find in person yet.

pretty sure that Argos have them.

Nope, the cage wire is softer and more flimsy than you find on a hamster cage! Any cat would have no problem squeezing out at the corners or out the top. Hence the cable ties.

You obviously didn't get the joke ... I initially (mis-)read it as you having had to cable-tie the cat itself

I got one in maxizoo once, it looks like a turquoise plastic washing basket with a lid and they have them in multiple sizes. it's great, so much easier to get my cat into that than a carrier that only opens at the front.

I got the one in argos earlier this year. I paid € 20 for it I think. It's perfect for smaller cats & kittens. Here is Carlos the kitten modelling it on his way to the vet this morning
