Do you have a carrier (or enough carrier space) for each of your pets?

Thank you... I have one maybe I should invest in more

I have two cats but only one carrier.

Since I don't have a car, I can't really carry both cats at the vet at the same time anyways (too heavy!). But in case of an emergency, I'd have to put both cats in the same carrier.

I've only one carrier, but I do have cardboard boxes which could do if I were in a fix, provided I didn't just do away with them and stick the cats straight in the car. That's the only way I could fit a litter box in, since the carrier is much to small for a cat who isn't a runt or a kitten.

Sierra's carrier would hold both of my girls, but she wouldn't care for that even one bit! Serenity will receive Sierra's carrier, and I'm in the process of searching for the perfect new one for Sierra.

I've got hard carriers for all four, even though we don't have any natural disasters here. The house could always burn or something, and we need them anyway for vet visits and going to the gottage etc. Girls have Atlas 10 and boys Clipper 2 carriers. Unfortunately the other Atlas doesn't have a door at the moment, because we borrowed it to my one of husband's students who accidentally threw it away with recycling paper, and the new door hasn't arrived yet.

I need one more.

I have 2 carriers for 2 cats.

i have 14 cat carriers. They are all stored in one place, all fully intact and closed until needed. I used to have them taken apart (door off) so the cats could sleep in them, but now they are just "ready" for what I hope will never come.

I have 4 large cat carriers, one medium dog carrier, one extra large dog carrier and a large soft sided enclosed pen. My cats would need to double up in many of them, but would all fit. My dogs would need to be leashed.

My bigger fear is a need to evacuate quickly. When the tornado hit our house 2 years ago, there was simply no time to round them up and get them into carriers. Not to mention carrying them out one by one outside to our storm cellar. I was blown to the ground - had I been carrying a carrier, it would have been swept up into the winds and carried off with all the barns, boats, roofs and other debrie from the neighborhood.

Living in earthquake area, YES I have two carriers and one big kennel with enough room for all 3 of my baby's! Have to be prepared they depend on me

Of course! You never know when you will need it and besides it is the safest way to go to places like the vets. I have one large hard kitty carrier for one kitty

Each of our Cats has there own carrier. We are a little paranoid and always worry if there is some sort of disaster that we can get our cats to safety. Also we have had to take all four to the vets at once

Two cats, two carriers, and Kellie I can just leash and tuck under my arm .

You just made a very good point. Both cat carriers I have are "ready to go", but the dog carrier is "broken down", since we currently don't have a dog. If we had to evacuate (this area is prone to flooding and earthquakes), I'd want to take it in order to give the cats more room wherever we found shelter. I think I'd better put it together, and store an extra litter pan, litter, food, and bowls in it.

This is also when those pouched foods come in handy. They are lightweight, easy to store, make their own bowl, so all you need is something to hold water for the kitty

I can just picture that! Actually, the one I saw was way too small for Jamie, but would be great for the shelter kittens/small cats. An awful lot of people who are interested in adopting show up without a carrier.

I have a couple carriers for YY - there was one she did not seem to care for and it was donated to a local animal hospital (Cat Clinic) but I loved the Sherpa model for travel. YY tho still liked her old one, lol The Sohynx girls also each have their own carriers and they too have extras, from the whole cat show circut. Plus, they have several cages used in the shows and mega travel stuff. I even have an evavcuation plan so am in good shape and tested it during Juan (not with YY tho since she was only born in Sept last yr). I did have a carrier for my rabbit during the ice storm but we never had to evacuate - just keep warm!!!

I have one carrier but I only have one cat, so having one carrier is enough at the moment. I think my family also has an old wooden one that someone made lying in he garage someplace. I haven't seen it for a long time though. It was large enough to hold two adult cats.
