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.

Just picked up a rescue cat in this carrier .
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.
Happy with purchase
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfec
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
5.0 out of 5 stars Good & Sturdy
Great size carrier. Lock is very easy to operate especially if you tend to struggle with getting the cat into it!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to assemble.
Cat seems very happy to be transported in this carrier.
I find that smaller carriers can sometimes make my cats stressed, but this one here is amazing! It’s on the bigger side though so I’d take that into account. My ragdoll is quite big and this is perfect for him!
5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good!
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.
A good quality top loading cat or small pet carrier. Actually large enough for a puppy or small dog too. There are small nuts and bolts that secure the top half to the bottom, extra to the plastic clips. These are not necessary but provide extra reassurance. The nuts and bolts are fiddly to get secured, one I had to insert upside down. The top opener is large and makes it easy to get the cat in. The front strong metal door took me a short while to figure out, but is effective and actually also easy to open to let the cat out. All in all a good cat carrier, very pleased.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simple. Easy great value
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job
Great – only annoying thing is the door is super squeeky and wakes puppy up
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice carrie
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Large pet carrie
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
5.0 out of 5 stars She liked it- until I took her to the ve
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
Take your time
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, nice and roomy
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.
Assemblance was but we got there at the end. I have attached a clip for a little tip for doing the nuts and screws, as it was hard to do to be frank. For the door just focus on the left one and getting that in, and then hold down the handles on the door and it’ll fit easily in the other side! This carrier is amazing! So far for me atleast!- I had no trouble with it, i put my two guinea pigs in it to test it out for the new comer (Loki the Ragdoll) and it can easily hold them! Ben and ren were quite amused when i was taking them up and down the stairs! For their reward i gave them both a carrot afterwards, would totally reccomend! 10/10
A little small to be honest, if I didn’t need it quickly, I would return and get the bigger size. My cat/kitten is 2.7kg and tbh I’d have purchased something a little bigger.
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 *
Good but you need a medium size!
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!
I bought this for my Ragdoll kittens. Knowing that the breed can grow quite large I was looking for a slightly bigger and very sturdy carrier that I could continue to use as they grow. It fits both kittens in at the minute as they’re still small but as they grow it will be the ideal size for one at a time. The only thing that I’m unsure about is the black plastic opening lever used for opening the top section – I’ve seen in a couple of other reviews the plastic bit has snapped off, it would be much more robust if they were metal. It’s the only part of the carrier I feel could be improved and time will tell how long it will last. That said the top opening is much more convenient for getting the cats in and out of the carrier rather than the front opening. Overall very happy with this carrier.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Puppy Carrie
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
Bought this in the larger size for my cat who gets stressed out going into normal carriers when going the vet. This item in the 23″ size would easily fit a small dog to be honest, but with a blanket inside, gave my cat enough room to move around without feeling cramped.
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.
Hopefully easier to put cat into
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!
4.0 out of 5 stars Vet said they were a good produc
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!
A lottery if you get a good one or bad one
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.
I’ve just ordered my second one of these as they are so great! I have two rabbits and when it’s time to go to the vets, I have a bit of a battle on my hands. Most carriers just have a front opening so it can be really hard to manoeuvre our furry friends inside. I was resorting to hiding treats inside but they soon caught on to that!
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.
Value for money
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.
Great for the cats trip to the ve
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.
A brilliant value-for-money cage
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.
Better than you'd think!
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.
Fantastic Quality Cat Carrier!
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.
Brillia
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!!!
Fit for purpose
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
Excellent carrier for my cat and rabbits!
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 great but cat still doesn't like it :D
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!
Nice and sturdy, easy to put togethe
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.
Perfect for our rabbit. Strong and easy access
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
Using for puppy transportation in ca
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
Grea
Much easier to get the cat in, as she hates getting in.
Excellent Pet carrier for my Ca
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.
Sturdy
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.
Perfect for large cats!
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!
Good cat carrie
Its good because its top loading and its very sturdy and good value for money
Sturdy
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.
Working for me
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
Sturdy...
Good sturdy cat carrier. Need this robustness for my ragdolls! Stores as two halves inside eachother and quick to construct.
Perfec
Perfect and great price. Delivery takes a while as it comes from Germany but worth it.
Brilliant, I have 2.
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 on the whole...
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.
Huge and sturdy
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!
Good cat carrie
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.
Good for carrying rabbits
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.
Good job.
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.
Brill
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.
Excellent quality
Great easy catch on doors.
Really well made and sturdy.
Came with instructions.
Hard wearing.
Great as 2 door.
Nice size
10/10 !!!
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
Easily bug enough for my two kittens and relatively sturdy!
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.
Top flap brillia
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.
Ok for price
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
Excellent value
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.
Smart looking, top screws to bottom, just not sure about top access?
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.
Arrived in good time
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.
Excellent cat / rabbit carrie
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 product & good value for money
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.
Perfec
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.
Really sturdy & secure.
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 carrie
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.
just a little bit flimsy
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.
Love it!
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.
Solid and suitable as a puppy crate
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.
Ok so after receiving a defective case, Amazon quickly replaced it. Easy to put together. The only issue I had was the screws – I had to screw them in upside down ( see photo) as I couldn’t screw them in underneath as no space! You need the screws as otherwise the clips are pretty useless and not secure as they move about. Fits my small 8.5kg pug! He can sit / lie down. Lightweight. Overall recommend but sort out the clips and screws !!
23inch for cat 🐈
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.
Sturdy
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.
Good piece of ki
Good value. Particularly like that you can put cat in from the top and also vet can access cat whilst in the carrier..
Plenty of room for the cat to move around
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.
Good, spacious and comfortable carrie
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.
Good sturdy carrie
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
Grat product at great price
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
Good value for money, basic cat carrie
Arrived quickly, very simple to put together, you can do most of it by hand, just need a screwdriver to tighten the bolts holding top to bottom. Looked a little small but is ample size for my biggest kitty who is very long. Easy to open front door and top loading door, and the holes in the sides and door are small so you won’t get an angry paw coming out to scratch you. Is also lightweight and sturdy even with a cat inside it.

Great pet carrie
It’s easy to assemble and love that it opens at the top too, my cat was very comfortable in it on her annual trip to the vet. Also didn’t take as much effort to persuade her to get in it! which is a godsend!
Check the size
I didn’t look at the sizes properly, so had to send mine back as it was more suited to a rabbit or tiny kitten than an actual cat . Really well made all the same , just check the size firs
Excellent pet carrier for the small animal.
Excellent pet carrier for small animals. The instructions were easy to follow and assembly straight-forward. The two door feature and sturdiness were particularly advantageous for safely containing the more vigorous pet during their visit to the vet. Easy to clean.
Excellent carrier at a very reasonable price
Great size for a large bunny/cat, it’s the best carrier I’ve bought in a long time! (I’ve had a few over the years!) the opening at the top is very handy and makes it easier to get the more reluctant pets in and out without having to try and coax them out the front.
Good size
Took me ages to assemble it but once assembled, it’s a good size for my cat to spend some time inside. I wouldn’t use it just for a quick trip to the vet but I used it when I moved house.
Great value for money & each door easy to use.
Easy to assemble & clean.
The 19′ is perfect for a short trip for our small cat.
So much space for my ca
Have to take my cat to the vet so decided to get this as its not too expensive.
definitely worth the money.
My cat is kinda big so got the bigger one and there is sooo much space for him.
Also useful it has a top lid specially because its my cats first time and is easier to slot him through the top rather than get him through the door!
