Expandable Cat Carrier Backpack with Mesh Side Room, Up to 22 Lbs

A backpack carrier is great while you're moving, but once you stop, your cat is stuck in a small box. This expandable cat carrier backpack fixes that. Unzip one side and a mesh room folds out, nearly doubling the floor space so your cat can stretch out at a rest stop, in the vet's waiting room or at a campsite. When it's time to go, the mesh folds back in and you're wearing a regular backpack again.

Room to Stretch When You Stop

The extension is built into the carrier, so you don't have to carry an extra pen or crate. It opens in a few seconds:

1. Unzip the panel on the expandable side.
2. Pull the folded mesh section outward.
3. Let it stand open to create a 11.8 x 11.8 x 9.4 in (30 x 30 x 24 cm) extra space.

The added room is mesh on all sides, so your cat can see out from every direction. For a cat that hates feeling boxed in, that difference counts on a long day out.

Four Ways In and Out

Some cats walk in on their own. Others need to be lowered in from above, or coaxed out from the side at the vet. This carrier has four separate openings, including the front door, the top and side entries. You can load and unload from whichever direction your cat accepts. Once your cat is inside, an interior leash clip attaches to their collar or harness, so an open door doesn't become an escape route.

Size Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can this expandable cat backpack hold?

It's rated for pets up to 22 lbs, which covers most medium cats and many small dogs. Check your pet's length and height against the carrier's dimensions as well.

Does the expandable section fold away when not in use?

Yes. The mesh room unzips and pulls out when you need it, then folds back into the carrier and zips closed. When it's tucked away, the carrier works as a standard backpack.

Can I carry it by hand instead of on my back?

Yes. It's a 2-in-1 design with padded shoulder straps for backpack carrying and a top handle for carrying it by hand, such as into a clinic or onto a train.
