My mothers cat needed more space and since she can not be free to just run around, this crate was the perfect alternative. Plenty of room for one full grown cat, she seems much happier. Callie love to lay on the top shelf for her naps, middle shelf is for watching people come and go from her spot, 1st. shelf is for her food and water. Bottom of crate fits a nice size litter pan for her personal business and her scratching post. Needed 2 people to put the crate together and had to use zip tie's to strudy it up a bit. Could not figure out how the wheels went on, so just left them off. The directions were more than useless...... But once it was put together and zipped tied into place it was great, the price was great and the shipping was very fast.
