This cage has wheels and also round stoppers to put under the wheels to keep them from rolling. It is portable but not something I would want to take apart and put back together often. Cats would be safe in this cage. Make sure you have the room in your RV to accommodate the size of the cage....it's large.

I would say it's not terribly portable. It is rather lightweight, but tall and bulky. I certainly would not want to take it apart and re-assemble it. Putting it together was not fun and I would not want to deal with that over and over.

It is portable by either rolling it (say by using a ramp) or lifting it. You would not be able to lift it with the cats inside but you can roll it with them inside. It would not be convenient if you had to take it apart every day but if it fits inside the RV fully assembled you would not have to disassemble it.

It doesn't fold up for storage. Once its assembled its designed to stay assembled. It seems too big for an RV in my opinion. I'd put each cat in its own collapsible cage.

I am a cat/kitten foster for a local cat rescue and I live in a 35' travel trailer. This is the best cage ever, probably larger than you realize at 3' W × 2' D × 6' H, but is not a "fold & go" cage. It does roll easily on 7 casters, which may require securing during actual travel. The clips on this cage are not meant for frequent reassembly, but is lightweight and can easily be carried fully assembled into the RV by 2 people. I have owned and used this cage long enough to give it a 5 star rating.

This cage is pretty sturdy and once it's put together is easy to roll around to move it, but I don't think you would want to try to dissamble it and reassemble it very often. If you could get it into your RV once it's together, that would work great.

While it is easy to move, it is not readily collapsible. Once you assemble it, you probably want to leave it assembled and just move it around.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. The cage isn't heavy, it's on wheels but comes with a stop cup to place under wheel to keep it from rolling, the doors all have a pin on a chain to keep it from opening, it stands 5'10" when assembled. You could actually get a folding cage, I have one that I bought at Wal mart that collapses down to 2". I got it in thee dog section.

Just keep the cat inside a warm home. Or inside somewhere its warm like humans live in. Just wondering. Sounds like you don't need a cat box shelter, need to keep it inside a warm place so it can run free.

I only have one cat that lives in the cage, she is 16 and feels safe in there. She has had no problems with the cage at all and hasn't been hurt. She can however open the doors herself when she wants too!

I have 3 parakeets in it and I have 2 cats n never had any trouble. My cats are very mischievous to lol. It's very sturdy once together. And the best part is it not an eye sore like the big black cages lol

It is good as your cats will enjoy the fresh air and being with you as well as seeing birds etc. It is important to make sure both doors on the crate are closed when they are on the patio. The best crates we had from Amazon was the MidWest crates. Our cats are indoor cats but we screened our patio and our pets can go out there, best thing we have ever done; we do use the crates indoors. We have a bed, water, food and a covered litter tray in the crate for them but only one cat per crate in a 42 inch - it works well.

No - good cage for a cat, except we cannot figure how to take it apart. Either it was put together incorrectly or there is a serious design flaw. I would suggest putting something solid along any cage's sides (maybe 12 inches - just to be safe for the kittens tiny paws). Thankyou for helping with the babies . Pat

There is no information on Petmate's website regarding this. It just states that it can hold up to 20 lbs. Looking at my 9.5 lb kitty, I don't see how I could fit two of her inside....maybe if both cats were a long, thin 10 lbs. It would also depend upon how long you wanted to carry the two together. A very short trip might work fine but the kitties would get very cramped on a long trip. I'd recommend viewing the measurements and measuring the length, width and height of your kitties to find your answer.

I don't know what the specs for the cage say, however, we have kept two 15 pound cats in the same cage for over 6 months now with no problems. The entire cage, including the bottom pull out tray and the 2 shelves/perches have withstood the weight of both cats laying and jumping off of them. Neither show any signs of stress or bowing. Hope this helps in your decision.

The cage is great. It is not heavy, but the size I got is way to big to carry to the vet. It would work well for camping or visiting. I use mine to put the dog in when I leave the house -- 'cause she chews things.

The shelves are my one complaint about this cage so if you find others that fit please let me know. Sorry this isn't really an answer. Their plastic is super rinky and I really worry about my 13lb cat getting his toes caught between the plastic shelf and the metal shelf-attacher since the plastic bows under his weight. I ended up putting the tray on the shelves and he just uses the top half now.

The cage has been very sturdy. The perches latch on and can easily be dislodged by the cats. All in all,I'm quite happy with it.

I actually lent this out to my son for a weekend trip to Boston after my house guest left and have not gotten it back yet. Short answer is no first hand experience yet, best guess is after the way we bounced like crazy on it after it was set up there should be no problem. It really is well made IMO. I'm 220 lbs and it didn't budge a bit. Keep the felines, the real cat type, away though. They would love to knead on this thing. Good luck.

we keep ours indoors so the cats can play and go in and out, but it comes with tent stakes to hold it down to use outside. But the weight of my cats keeps it from tipping over on the floor. hope this helps.

The locks are secure and are accessible only from the inside. I mounted mine to a screen and it eventually pulled free with fat cats barreling in and out at 90 mph. I don't think you will have a problem with it mounted to a solid surface. It might not be a comfy fit for a very large cat, however.

I would have to say, "No", at least for transport. I have two cats, and I just don't think they'd be comfortable confined together in the small size carrier that I have (I bought it for my Papillon). It's a really nice carrier though so a larger size might work if your cats get along really well (mine don't).

This cage is pretty darn heavy, I would say it's more of a semi-permanent cage than a travel cage.Unless you have are strong enough to carry and have a big SUV or hatchback, it'll be tough to carry this to your car.

I puchased this cage over this past summer and plan to bring it in for the winter. My rabbit is the size of my cats and is able to stretch out in the caged. You will need to put something under the cage area as it does not have any floor.
