Ergonomic plastic pet crate for cats and small dogs. Completely removable top plus front and back opening. With care and storage hatches. Use car seat belt to secure. Colour: Grey
The key advantage of this transport box is that the top section can be completely removed, whilst it is also possible to open it from either the front or the back. Two lift-up doors, one either side allow you to easily get your pet into the carrier, or take them out.
Practical anchor mechanisms for standard three-point seatbelts make it easy to strap the crate into your car, and mean that your pet can be transported quite securely on the passenger seat or back seat.
Ventilation grilles in the top and bottom sections of the carrier allow for air movement and keep your cat or dog from getting too hot when they are being transported inside the box.
The lockable care hatch in the top of the box is an innovative addition to this pet carrier. You can use the care hatch to give your pet a treat or a reassuring stroke during a long wait at the vet’s or on a journey. The compartment opposite the care hatch can be used to store pet essentials such as treats or leads.
Secure click-lock fastenings and a sturdy integrated carry-handle ensure that the pet crate is easy to transport.
Plastic pet carriers are easy to keep clean and hygienic, making them a perfect alternative to fabric carriers. Its ergonomic design makes the Nobby Avior excellently suited to carrying cats, small dogs, and even rabbits or guinea pigs.

How to choose a cat carrier: Choose a carrier based on your cat's adult size. The carrier should be high enough to allow the cat to stand up, and wide enough for it to lie down and turn around comfortably.
Allow your pet some time to get used to being transported in the pet carrier. Gently accustom your pet to the carrier by simply allowing it to spend time inside with the door open. Once your pet is used to the box, you can close the door with your pet inside and leave it for a short while, and then gradually increase the time spent with the door closed. Try to take short test drives in the car at first before undertaking any long journeys. The carrier should never be used as a punishment but rather be seen by your pet as a safe, positive place.
Sadly I can’t use this item as there is a piece missing.

Excellent
Ordered this for my elderly neighbour after going through the options available with her on the site, her cat is semi feral so she wanted a top opening carrier that would be easier to get him into for vet visits. The carrier has two large top openings, and is incredibly light to carry, and she is very happy with it. I had read the other reviews of how fiddly the carrier was to put together, and was delighted to find that the one we ordered came ready assembled. Very happy with it.

Great carrier once assembled correctly
I read a lot of reviews on this carrier on different sites before buying. Lots of reviews say it's warped but it's from the way it's packed. The assembly is annoying but it's a great carrier for rabbits once made. I have used it for rabbits, the top opening makes vet trips for rabbits less stressful and easier for getting them in and out. I have a Flemish giant who weighs almost 5kg and it feels secure for his weight. Also easy to secure the carrier by seat belt in the car.

Warped
Giving 2 stars because the design isn't stupid. But the plastic is cheap, light-weight and, well, warped. The bottom part and the 2 top ;ids don't fit together properly. It requires quite some fiddling and bending to close the carrier properly.... Just the kind of nonsense you don't wanna deal with when trying to take a disgruntled struggling cat to the vet. Be glad it's sold out, because really: it's no better than a cardboard box.

So much better than front opening carriers
I love it, vet loved it. I can get my 7kg cat in so much more easily. He really fought the front opening carriers that I tried previously. And when going to the vet we don't even have to take the cat out - the vet simply lifts the hatch and has great access. No problem at all with it holding his weight. Yes you do have to take a moment to align the top to the bottom but its totally worth it for the convenience. So good I bought a second for his sister.

great design
sturdy enough for my tubby (heavy) cat who nearly 'hulked' out of the old one and the design of the hatch makes it so much easier to get a protesting cat in it without all the stress. When it arrived i was concerned at the sections didn't line up but it did reshape once clipped together so no issues there

Great for larger cats
Having read the reviews, I took a chance on this carrier & I am glad I did. Maybe the makers have made it a bit more solid recently as I can say that it's definitely sturdy enough for my 5kg cat. Yes it is fiddily to put together BUT the instructions tell you this! Once you've built it leave it closed for a few days and it will settle into shape making it easy to open and close. My 5kg has plenty of room in this carrier and the opening is fantastic for easy access, no fuss vet visits.

Great!
This carrier is great value for money and is a great size if you have a larger cat! Would recommend this to anyone who struggles getting their pet into the carrier as the door is very wide making life a little easier!

My Cats' Spaceship
I bought my Avior 15 years ago & am looking for an additional one. Sadly, my cat family for whom I originally got it, are deceased. The new generation includes Delilac, who walks right in & sleeps in it, if I leave it out. I have found it the BEST option for traveling across the continent & to/from the vets. I do make sure that it has ban closed with everything properly lined up, especially when others handle it. It has a bit of an alignment issue. As long as one pays attention, it locks tigh

Read the instructions!
I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews about the plastic being so poorly made that it didn't fit together - however after reading the instructions, they state that this will be the case due to how the box is packaged, but once you fiddle about and align, it will line up and fit together.
My cats are ragdolls, the bigger one weighing about 6 kilos. She has plenty of room to move around in this, and doesn't hate it anywhere near as much as her previous softer case. Recommend!

Love this for mine
A friend just asked if I had a carrier to recommend, and when I came on to send her the link I was really surprised to see such mixed reviews. I'm intrigued whether this is one where it's luck of the draw.
I bought one a year and half or so ago. I only have moggies, not large breeds, so this could be the difference. My three have all been in it multiple times and it's totally held its shape - I've had compliments from two vets as well due to the wide front opening. I have two back up carriers just in case, and one cat I literally cannot get in anything but this one.
My boy also likes to sit on top of this, as I leave it available at all times (with the front lid removed and stored) so they don't just associate it with the vets. He hasn't bent it yet.
Sounds like it's not a sure buy, but if you get a good one I really don't think you'll regret it.

Faulty
Got this carrier today and it looked great. However when I attempted to assemble it I discovered that the front opening section would not line up correctly and therefore could not be secured properly. I contacted Zooplus and they immediately offered a refund. Very impressed with their customer service if not with the carrier.

Love it
Don't think this is cheap/flimsy as others have said. My cat weighs 6kg & I don't feel worried that anything will break/fall apart. It was a bit awkward lining everything up when 1st put together, but nothing a little patience couldn't overcome. Because the front opens up wide it's so much easier to get my boy in & I didn't arrive at the vets scratched & bleeding. Only negative is that underside of the handle is flat & uncomfortable to hold with a heavy cat. Will have to wrap some padding round.

Great carrier
Top price for a great carrier. I run a private rescue and I love this one. Easy to get the cat in and out, Easy to watch and cuddle trough the small opening on top. Easy access for the vet. Big enough for two young cats.

So easy to get the cats in
I haven't noticed an issue with the quality, luckily. I absolutely love it as all my cats will go in it easily - unlike the fight if I have to use the regular cat box. I love this product :)

I bought two of these for my two kittens, but only ever use one because the kittens seem happier and calmer going to the vets in one case. Perhaps when they get bigger and older they will need individual ones but for now they are fine in one. So far we haven't had any problems but I feel nervous the plastic clips are going to come loose and fall apart. I've also lost one of the plastic clips which makes the other unused carrier left unused... With hindsight I probably would have gone with a wicker carrier.

LOVE THIS CARRIER
This carrier is great, it took me all of a few minutes to put it together, really strong, i put my big siamese bengal x in it he weighes over 12lb in weight. I love the design and it is a strong carrier. It is easy to put your pet in and due to its shape i can hold it in my arms close to me and not have to carry it at my side. I recommend this item.

Brilliant for rabbits
I got this as my rabbit outgrew the supposed rabbit carrier within 2 weeks. I love how it has two openings and the flaps on either side of the handle. It means I can put her paper work in it and not forget it, like I have done before. Also having the ability to safely stroke your pet is a brilliant idea. I highly recommend this carrier as its such a bargain. I've had cats in the past and wish I had this carrier then.
