## Description

desertcart.com : PETUX Airline Approved Pet Carrier for Small Cats up to 12 lb, 17x11x9.5 in | Underseat, Top & Side Entry, TSA‑Friendly, Soft Sided Cat Carrier with Breathable Anti-Scratch Mesh for Travel & Vet, Grey : Pet Supplies

Review: Met flight requirements and material that it's made of seems to be comfortable for my cat. - This is a great little carrier, it was purchased to be used on a flight and worked very well. My cat seemed very comfortable in it.
Review: 10/10 Pet Carrier! - We have bought two of these & taken them on multiple flights. I like most that they fall within or right under all of the airlines requirements. As you can see with them stacked, even though they are soft carriers they are sturdy, but still fit well under the seats. The zippers have held up well, when we are done traveling I collapse them to store them & never have issues. Our dogs are 12lbs and 7lbs, there’s plenty of room for both of them. We can even add a small blanket and chew & they can still maneuver around.

## Features

- MEASURE FIRST FOR THE BEST FIT: The PETUX cat carrier soft is made for small cats up to 12 lb. Best fit for pets with back length ≤ 13.5 in and height ≤ 8.5 in. When the fit is right, your cat can settle, shift position, and stay calmer—whether you’re walking to the car, waiting at the gate, or heading into the clinic
- AIRLINE-FRIENDLY UNDER-SEAT SIZE: The PETUX cat carrier airline approved size is 17 x 11 x 9.5 in, designed for in-cabin/under-seat travel. The top-loading opening helps you place your cat in smoothly and do quick comfort checks without opening the whole carrier. It's mainly designed for Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airlines. Please verify your airline requirements
- ANTI-ESCAPE SAFETY DESIGN: The PETUX cat bag carrier has 2-way locking zippers that help prevent accidental opening while you’re moving between terminal doors, hotel hallways, or car seats. Inside, the built-in safety leash adds another layer of control (attach to a harness for best safety) when you need to open the top for a quick check or reassurance
- STURDY SUPPORT, LESS SAGGING: A honeycomb hard base board supports your cat with a more level resting surface and helps reduce bottom sagging. Great for city sidewalks, elevator rides, and car transfers, where a PETUX small pet carrier can feel wobbly. Includes a removable cushioned pad for comfort during commutes and weekend trips
- BREATHABLE & EASY TO MAINTAIN: The PETUX airline approved cat carrier has 3-side mesh ventilation that keeps airflow and visibility, so your pet can breathe easier, and you can monitor them without constantly unzipping. Made with water-resistant Oxford fabric for everyday spills and messes. Hand-washable design, the pad is removable for routine cleaning after trips

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great TSA approved carrier
*by S***Z on November 14, 2025*

Moving to another state and traveled by plane with my very skittish cat. This carrier was great, she could see on 3 sides, could take her out through the top when going thru TSA, and fit my 8 lb cat with room for her to easily move around. Highly recommend if you are air traveling wuth your pet!
