Amazon Basics 23-Inch (58 cm) Two-Door Top-Load Pet Kennel
Safe travels
Whether it’s an adorable Yorkie or a graceful tabby, conveniently get your furry friend from point A to point B with this Amazon Basics pet kennel. Designed to keep your pet safe, secure, and comfortable when travelling, the 23-inch (58 cm) kennel works well for anything from trips to the dog park or hiking trails to routine visits to the vet.
Smart 2-door design
Thoughtfully designed, the pet kennel features two doors, one in the front and one on the top, which means twice as many options compared to most kennels for getting little fluffy calmly into her kennel. Easy entry helps promote a less stressful experience – for both you and your pet.
Convenient features
For added convenience, the top door can be opened to the left or right. Simply pull one of the two black handles forward to release, then lift and swing to the side to open the door. The door on the front of the kennel features a spring-loaded latch. Pinching together the top and bottom levers of the latch and pulling forward allows the door to gently swing open.
Heavy-duty design
Made of durable plastic with a steel-wire front door, the Amazon Basics two-door top-load pet kennel offers strength, security, and visibility, along with plenty of ventilation on the sides, top, and back of the kennel.

Popped her in the top load door ,let her out through the ( steel ) front gate . Perfect!
Fairly flimsy material , but after bolting two halves together with 6X M6 bolts ,it is very sturdy.
We bought two of these for our kittens. They were easily put together and seem very sturdy. They open from the top or front for easy access. They make trips to the vet/cattery very easy.
I have a larger cat and this carrier is perfect for him he has space to move in it and the top coming off is so much better than trying to get him in and out of the small doo
Great size carrier. Lock is very easy to operate especially if you tend to struggle with getting the cat into it!!
Cat seems very happy to be transported in this carrier.
Really good, strong and sturdy, lots of space, definitely on the larger side of cat carriers. Has screws to keep it together, can easily dismantle for cleaning. Has two openings, both strong and useful. Highly recommend.
It was easy to set up, quite straight forward and great value for money would recommend for anyone on a small budget or for short simple pet transport.
Great – only annoying thing is the door is super squeeky and wakes puppy up
It does seem a little flimsy but it should be fine as it’s for my cats which aren’t too heavy. I like that it opens from the top as well as the normal gate on the front.
This is a good sturdy product and easy to assemble. It will hold a puppy or small to medium dog or a large cat which my one is . She is over 5kg and is very comfortable in this box. It can hold an animal up to 9kg. There is a top panel you can open as well as the metal door on the front. Good value for money and delivery was super quick
This is a smaller cat carrier just about adequate for mine. It went together fairly easily but needed screws to secure, most were missing. I used cable ties instead, much easier to remove and replace if you need to dismantle the carrier to get your cat out at the vets. Leaving it with the top door open and a fleecy lining, it was actually sufficiently attractive to Madam that she slept in i
Read previous reviews and was prepared to lose my temper but no, once I got the hang of it assembly was easy. My cat is large and argumentative, top opening suited him perfectly. Because of his weight I wouldn’t trust carrying by the handle. I bought medium and there’s plenty of room. Good value for money.
Bought this for our new rescue kitty who is 9 months old and already over 5kg. It’s got lots of space inside for him and I like that he can go in via the top door so much easier to get him into it. It comes with bolts to attach it together but can be taken apart for storage when not in use. It’s easy to assemble too. Happy with this. Looks good too.
Other than that it’s ok. The top loading mechanism is designed a little awkward but as mentioned this will do the job for now. I put a blanket inside as well so should be comfy for the upcoming trip to the vets. Overall 3.5 -4 *
These are good quality and you can load from the top, which is the main reason I bought it! I have an 8 month old ginger cat, slightly on the chubby size, but the small carrier was a bit too small and the large one is absolutely huge!!! I feel a size in between would be perfect for most cats, shame!
Ordered to fit a 10 week old Jack Russell in to go to the vets and also to use to get used to the car. He can stand, turn and lay down. It’s not his crate he uses overnight as I’d say it’s too small for that. I know it won’t last as he grows but for the visiting now it’s ideal to manage. Built on delivery as in parts, was easy to complete and the bolts fitted properly and it’s secure. The door is a maximum security prison double lock door, brilliant from others I’ve seen. This is metal not a tiny bit of plastic. The top opening is more of a phaff to open n close but can be done.
Thank you
Relatively easy to put together, only fiddly thing was screwing the top onto the bottom as the nuts and bolts are quite small, so would be difficult for anyone with problems with their fingers or large hands.
I like that this has a front loading door on a spring release, a top loading door and the whole of the top of the carrier comes off completely.
I would say that you could easily fit two fully grown cats in this together.
The only down side is the top loading door as this releases on two springs and rather than the door lifting up, it comes off completely so could be troublesome to fit back on once the cat is inside without having to hold them down inside the carrier first.
Nice big carrier for my 6.6Kg cat. Putting this together was easy but the screws were going to be awkward because you need to tighten the nut, but there was no room to do it! Solved this problem by using small zip ties. There is also the normal clips you use to connect top and bottom, and if you were transporting small cat it probably would be sufficient. However, my cats are fairly large so I figured the extra security would be safer, hence the zip ties. So why not 5 stars? Well I haven’t had to use it since I got it, so it’s not been tested!
I like the opening top as it so easy to get the cats in and out. I leave them out all the time so the cats are used to them. They were very settled in them as they look snug but this suits cats when travelling and the vet said they were perfect for them.
Make sure you get the nut on the bolt the right way or they get stuck!
I disliked how difficult it is to assemble. In the picture I decided to put the screws in upside down than the bolts at the top and that was fine. For obvious reasons the top lid is never going to be opened. I decided to cat proof a carrier for a 7kg cat with the screw type fastener and he gave up without a fight. I only put one on and used the rest of the screws and bolts supplied. I got 6. He stayed put. I had to get 2 cats to the vet in a car. I found the carrier’s fine for me and I had the larger ones. I do feel it is a lottery as some came with parts missing and some were faulty but mine were fine. One last thing, the instructions are useless to try and assemble. I should on looked on Youtube to find a solution.
With this carrier having a top door, you can pick up the bunnies and gently lower them in. It’s also great in the car as you can open the top and reassure them.
The carriers are very sturdy, even with heavier animals. One of mine weights 4kg and the other 2.75kg and it manages both with no issues.
The floor can be a bit slippy though so I put a non slip mat inside so that they have traction.
The door is made of metal so it cannot be chewed.
This carrier comes in two sizes. It’s a shame the smaller one is significantly lower in height as I feel there needs to be an inbetween size. The small is too small for one of my bunnies, but the large is a little too large. Not a major issue though, better to get one with more space than one that is too small.
I did order one from Amazon Warehouse that was supposed to be good as new. However it arrived without original packaging and had fur / urine stains on it. This was sent back and I’ve ordered a brand new one.
I would highly recommend this carried. Although there are cheaper ones on the market, considering it’s functionality, I’m happy to pay the extra to have a carrier that’s easier to use.
Use this as a travel crate in the car for my chihuahua. Have not carried it with the dog inside so cannot comment on the security of the top under load. This is the second of these I have purchased ( we have several dogs!) which must show how good i consider the carrier to be. Does everything I need for a very reasonable price.
Does what it says. You can pop the cat in via the top or the front. It all holds together well. Great for domestic use, but not a flight case.
My cat hate cages. It often took two persons to collaborate together to put her into a cage with four little lockers. I chose this one because it could allow me to lock it with one hand. It’s a good purchase because I put my cat into the cage quickly without any help.
Spent a long while looking at these types of crates in shops and online, reading poor reviews.
Almost in desperation bought this one.
Impressed, great price and good construction. It does have some plastic clips to hold both halves in place, but it also has good old fashioned nuts and bolts making it really secure.
Very pleased and almost half the price of the one I nearly bought.
Would certainly recommend.
This is a lovely sturdy cat carrier. So easy to assemble and it came with all the necessary parts including the screws and bolts. Just follow the instructions step by step in the instruction booklet and it will only take a few minutes to assemble. I like the fact that you can load your cat in via the front door or gently lower your cat in and lift out via the roof. I’ve not used it yet but I feel confident my cat will be safe and secure during transportation in this cat carrier.
What a brilliant carry case. It’s very sturdy and so easy to put the cat into, whether it’s through the top or the front. It’s good value for money and Dobby loves it!!!
The door lock isn’t really suitable for smaller arthritic hands.
I need 2 hands to pull the levers together . My husband can do it with one hand.
I should have checked locking system before I bought this
I already have one of these carriers for my rabbits and decided to buy another one for my cat, as I liked it so much! They’re really strong and sturdy, and comfortable to carry. The front and top doors both open quickly and easily. 5 stars from me!
Works well, easy to assemble, can remove top to get at your pet or open the door.
It’s quite large and can fit cats or small dogs quite easily.
I broke my last one and thought this cat carrier would be a bit easier to use with the top access rather than me fichting to get her in via the front door. It was a little easier to get her in it and she jumped straight out when I opened the top and front. Its hard plastic so its what you would expect. Works as any other carrier if you don’t want to use the top. Our cat still doesn’t like it but its most likely because she knows she is off to have a fight with the vet!
We had cases that you could remove the top 1/2 completely, but we actually prefer this design having a a hatch on the top to get to the bunny. It’s also massive so more than enough space for big cat or rabbit. Maybe not quite a Flemish giant tho
The vet thought I had a cat in the crate instead a puppy, good access, top and front though metal door swings ajar most of time. Perfect for taking puppy to vet before getting jabs and using as bed crate time at home
Much easier to get the cat in, as she hates getting in.
The Pet carrier arrived in 24 Hours and was very easy to assemble.
Very sturdy. My Cat won’t stand a chance of getting out, unless I let it.
High quality product at a good price.
I bought it for trips to the Vets.
Very well made! We have a big big floof and he fits well inside with space. Great as it has opening at the front and up top. Lots of ventilation but not too open so as to make him feel more secure. 10/10 would recommend. I purchased another one after this for my other floof!
I read other reviews and wondered if I would struggle to assemble the carrier. It was a bit fiddly, but easier than I anticipated, once assembled it felt secure. I like the top opening. There are two little handles on top if you wanted to use a shoulder strap. This is not supplied. One of the side clips had not been attached properly, I managed to push it through. I bought the bigger sized carrier. My kitten sleeps in it.
Its good because its top loading and its very sturdy and good value for money
Very impressed with this as unlikely to fall apart as has screw and nut to hold together so feels a lot safer than others I have.
Purchased to overnight a Cockerell and pacify my neighbours if it was as easy to catch the b@@@@@d every night as it was to use the carrier I’d be on cloud 9
Good sturdy cat carrier. Need this robustness for my ragdolls! Stores as two halves inside eachother and quick to construct.
Perfect and great price. Delivery takes a while as it comes from Germany but worth it.
My cats hate them, but they hate cat boxes full stop. But they are light and sturdy, and I feel safe using them. They’re easy to wash out too.
Very good value, easy to assembled & seems sturdy. One issue that might prove worrying is the carry handle/lid. When I lift the box empty the handle & lid flex upwards. Hoping this won’t be a problem with a full sliced ‘Matey Boy Bengal’ in it! Knowing Amazon’s reliability I suspect I may be worrying unessascarily…he’s at the vets tomorrow so we’ll find out!. All in all better than a lot of more expensive ones out there.
Great quality product for the price. The nuts were a little tricky to get in but once you got the hang of it assembly was fine. Shame my car won’t be so appreciative of it!
This is the second one I have (I have lots of cats so need more than one) and these are good as they give the option of too loading as well as the front.
I understand when some people say that the lid doesn’t seem safe but if you look at the actual mechanism, it has to be pulled to open the lid and you can’t pull it when holding the handle, so this won’t happen…it would be nice to have a clip on the lid just for piece of mind.
A very good size for the price. Very handy for carrying two mini lop rabbits at the same time.
The build quality was a bit hit and miss in places. Some of the pre-drilled holes for the screws are not properly aligned, so it was a bit trickier than it should have been to assemble.
Overall though it does a good job in carrying the rabbits and I’m happy that I made the purchase.
It was perfect for one of my chickens who was brooding. Overnight stays in the box with her own food and water broke the cycle. Keeping for the next one.
Excellent my big cat cant escape. Top drop is perfect instead of 30 mins trying to get him in a crate its 5 seconds!!! No stress. Bolted together but one weakness is the handle is on the top drop lid so if u have a heavy cat u might wanna strap the box first.
Great easy catch on doors.
Really well made and sturdy.
Came with instructions.
Hard wearing.
Great as 2 door.
Nice size
Cant recommend this enough, this is perfect for cats who aren’t fond of getting into cages. The top flap is such a great feature and it was supper easy to put my cat in with plenty of room for her to lay, although it’s not big enough for two large cats but is big enough for two small cats
I have two 12-week old kittens who managed to fit into the 23″ version with no problems. There are screws around the edge as well as latches for extra piece of mind. I still support the bottom when walking with it but that’s just me. The top loader is easy enough. It’s worth practising with it a couple of times before you properly use it though.
This is brilliant as I can lower my car into the box and he is fine with that, whereas he hates being put through the door! Far less stress for him and scratches for me. Ery happy with my purchase.
It’s ok for job needing which is to get my rabbit to vets when needed only slightest problem I’ve got is second opening at the top catch can be fiddly to close and lock but I’m managing just takes little longer than I’d like
This is a really good carrier and really excellent value.
I don’t know whether Amazon have changed the design, but the locking system for the top lid seems very secure to me.
I bought this cat carrier as my cat has an appointment with the vet in a couple of days and I realized he is too big for the old carrier. He came from a cat sanctuary, he had PTSD trapped as a stray with a damaged leg. So my boy is very nervy. I read all the reviews and as always , swings and roundabouts. You would never buy a thing of you didn’t weight it all up yourself. Oh I should say I had a time limit so needed Prime only. This carrier comes in two halves with a separate door. There are four snap clips attaching bottom to top and if there were not six nuts and bolts the clips would not work too flimsy. It is roomy smart looking and airy. The other issue is the top access to put a very chilled cat in I guess? I knew this was an issue when I bought it and I intend to use a leather strap around the middle you can’t be too careful. I would have paid more for something else but more carriers come in the small size than larger. Some reviews had issues with the carrying handle but mine seems fine.
The are very nice cat carriers sturdy secure with lots of air circulation. I was able to get my cats safely moved to my new address. They will come ion handy for the vets too. They are big enough to take my 7.2KG cat no trouble. Their was plenty of room for the cats to move around to find a comfy spot. The cages them selves although light are very well made, light in weight and secure.
I have had a few different carriers and this is by far the best one. Opens at top and front. It was very easy to lure my bunny in without causing too much stress. The door then closes like on a proper hinge. Excellent design. Would highly recommend.
Good design.
Easy to assemble and use (I particularly like the top loading door).
Feels sturdy and seems a lot more secure than previous ones I have bought from large pet stores. Good value for money all round.
Very Sturdy I cannot see any problem with this carrier, I have used twice to take our cat to the vet’s. The cat seems to enjoy going into it. I would recommend this carrier for owners of small cats.
This is one of the nicest carriers I’ve used. I feel confident that my cats are secure in there and I really like that the animals can be putin from the top. My cats hate side opening carriers but go in from the top no problem.
Very good pet carrier, very sturdy. Easy to assemble.
My cat is one and a half years old and just about fit in it,
but you can buy a bigger one.
Top opening is very helpful to get your cat in and out.
Seller good and quick delivery.
Ok so the cat may be overweight but she is a small cat! The lid doesn’t respond well to lifting by the handle.
Hasn’t come apart but a lot of bend on the locking bars. However as long as you are careful the rest of it is fine and she is far happier in there than her “box” type carrier.
The best cat carrier which I had a chance to use. I love the idea to be able able put cat from top it is far easier and less stressful for both of us. Really good quality and amazing price.
Used as a car travel carrier and in our puppy pen. Our (very small) Cavapoo puppy is quite happy resting and sleeping in it with plenty of space. Only time will tell how suitable it is once she grows but for now it is solid and perfectly suited.
Quite impressed with this carrier compared to previous cheap all plastic one, can’t imagine even the most uncooperative cat escaping. Don’t share doubts of other reviewers.
Initially I ordered the 19 inch carrier for my cat. She is roughly 4/5 pound and it looked very cramped. I returned the 19 inch in exchange for the 23inch. She has much more space and its big enough to fit her blanket with her.
I like the bolts as well as clips I’m always worried fall and she bolts through fear ( more like to claw her way up my legs right enough.
Good value. Particularly like that you can put cat in from the top and also vet can access cat whilst in the carrier..
Perfect size for my cat, he has room to lay down and turn around easily. The top door makes getting him into the carrier so much easier. The only thing I found awkward were the bolts that are supposed to fit into holes making it even sturdier, I found them not long enough to fit properly.
This is very sturdy, good well made pet carrier and you can add a shoulder strap to make it more safer. I use this for the smaller cat, for vet trips, it’s a good pet carrier and such a good price. Very happy with this produc
Very good crate. Easy to open and close. Having read some reviews I purchased a luggage belt to strap it across the carrier when on the move (just for the extra peace of mind).
Large enough for a fluffy pillow and my female maine coon cat.
This is surprisingly well built and versatile for such a cheap price.
Although the plastic feels quite flimsy it is actually very sturdy in use.
Highly reccomended
