I have spent (wasted) a good part of today searching furiously online for a pet/dog carrier/shuttle/kennel that has WHEELS on the bottom but can't find one that's large enough for 2 adult cats.

Thank God I do already have one (bought years ago, called Pet Limo) that I use when taking each of my 5 cats to the Vet.....but recently I decided I need another one like this in the event that I ever have to round up all of my cats and take then in the car (what prompted this was, there was a train derailment near my home a couple of months ago and they were considering evacuating my neighborhood....and I realized I'm not really equipped to quickly load up 5 cats!).

This one I found at buy.com is perfect.....but they do NOT ship to Canada, which sucks:

I know that the Petmate does sell wheels for their large plastic kennels but I've read the reviews on them and they sound like total cheap, flimsy crap. I'm looking for something like the Pet Limo I already have; where the wheels are already built into the base of the carrier.

Looking for something 28"L x 18"W x 19" deep.

It MUST have a sturdy handle on top (I have a bad back and need all the help I can get when moving the carrier with (2) 11 lb cats from my home down the stairs to my garage/into vehicle)....and I don't like the type with the door on top as well as the end; I've seen ones with the door on top that have a handle on them as well but that seems silly and dangerous to me.....seems like a good way to open that top door while carrying it).

Marchioro Clipper 3 has one that comes with attachable wheels but it's smaller: 25 x 17 x 17. Would prefer something a little larger (their larger size has no handle on top so that won't work).

Anyone have any suggestions? I've phone the local pet supply stores in Calgary (PetsMart, etc) and they're all clueless and quick to tell me they have nothing with wheels and make no suggestions.

I've been to the Petmate.com website and looked at all of their models of carriers/kennels and NONE come with built-in wheels, which is mind-blowing to me. I tried calling them today but they're closed.

Thanks

Maybe you could buy the one from buy.com and have it shipped to someone you know in the US and have them ship it to you? I looked around but didn't see any either, sorry.
