How to get a cat into a carrier: 7 steps to success with tips from our vet

Ginger cat in a carrier with the door open, looking out.

Learning how to get a cat into a carrier quickly and easily is a great skill to master if you have a kitty who tends to scarper every time you want to take them on a road trip. While your cat may never come to love their carrier, there are definitely steps you can take to help lower their stress and anxiety levels and make the whole experience a more comfortable and pleasurable one for both them and you.

The first thing you want to do is to do some research and ensure you invest in one of the best cat carriers to help make traveling with a cat as easy as possible. The type you choose will be largely determined by whether you’re mainly wanting to use it for short trips or whether you have more long-haul adventures in mind. We recommend a carrier with plenty of ventilation that opens from both the front and top to help make getting your kitty in and out that much easier.
