We love a practical, portable cat carrier — but what’s most important to us is that our feline travel buddies love it too. Tuft + Paw, to that end, has just dropped its version of a soft-sided cat carrier called the Porto, which promises to be beautiful, functional and hit under that $100 price point.

This soft-sided cat carrier is ready for travel, thanks to its portability, breathability and comfort for your feline friend. Right now, it's available for preorder, but it should ship out by the end of October.

This carrier made our Watch List of new drops to keep an eye out for this year, and the final product lives up to our expectations. Available in two neutral hues — sand and charcoal — the Porto is airline compliant, and you can even slip it over your wheeled luggage handle so you and the cat can travel together in comfort and convenience.

There are also seat belt clips for road trips or the Uber to the airport and a removable faux shearling bedding, meaning your furry friend will be safe and comfortable for the whole trip (and that it’s easily washable on the other side).

Shop the new carrier now at Tuft + Paw in time for holiday travel.
