I carry my two cats to the vet in a plastic carrier (do not have a car). Used to be a 5 minute walk. Today we went to a different vet and hope he will be our new guy. But the walk was a painful 15 minute affair now that my kitties total over 18 pounds. They were a total of 9 pounds when I first go them 4 months ago.

I know that there are soft carriers out there with luggage wheels and I've seen someone with a backpack that had wheels. And what about a stroller? That may be great for outings and walks. But I'm afraid of storage (small apartment) and well, I don't want to look like the old crazy cat lady...single and still aiming for dates :lol3:

Anyhow, would love to read recommendations. Thanks.

Caution - check the "netting" on the strollers. If its made from the string netting your cat could chew thru the netting and get out. I thought it was made from non-chewable material. Some of the cat enclosures too are made from that same string netting.

I know my cat's could chew thru it and escape in no time. I got to see the strollers up close and found that out!

I have a stroller for cats and it is very useful for bringing them to the vet and cat shows and things. It is even more useful now since if I bring my large kitten who is 13 lbs and one other cat they weigh about 23 lbs together...
Originally I had one called Pet Gear Travel System stroller. It is built like a soft-sided cat carrier with a stroller base and the carrier part is removable and everything folds up for storage. I really liked this one but now that my kittens are older I can only fit one cat inside it. So recently I got a new one that is larger, the Pet Gear Happy Trails stroller. This one also folds up but does not separate into a carrier and base like the other one. It fits two cats comfortably and three if they are very friendly. ;)
If you're worried about space just get one that folds up and you can store it in a closet or something.
The ones I have don't have netting, they have thick mesh.

Hi there - I just saw a stroller on Ebay that is VERY affordable, and it might help you a lot...
Here it is:

I buy a lot of things on ebay, andI never had a problem... This seller has 74,000 positive feedbacks - hope it helps you on your trips to the vet! :wavey:

Oh wow, that really is a great price. I wonder what the quality is like? For $30, I'm not looking gold but don't want to buy something junky either.

I'm on the fence about stroller. I may just go with a backpack/sherpa bag combination so that way if we either do need to travel, I can use them in the plane cabin.
