What size carrier should I get for my kitten?

You should probably get a small-sized carrier for your kitten so you don't have to buy a new one when your kitten matures. Although an extra-small carrier might be cozier and more comfortable, you may not need a kitten-sized one unless you plan to use it often or for travel. If you have a larger breed kitten like a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat, you may want to get a medium-sized carrier to accommodate their larger mature size.

How can I make my kitten comfortable in a carrier?

To make your kitten feel comfortable in a carrier, introduce it early and try putting familiar bedding or toys inside. You can also leave the carrier open at home so your kitten can explore it freely. Start off by going on short outings with your kitten and make sure to frequently reward good carrier behavior.

Are soft or hard kitten carriers better?

Some people consider soft kitten carriers better for regular use since they are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to store. They also have more surfaces for your cat to hang onto with their claws, which can provide a feeling of safety and control. However, hard carriers provide extra protection and may be easier to clean, so some consider them better for longer travel. The best choice depends on your kitten's preferences and your expected travel routine.
