QR Code Link to This Post
Neighbor gave this away, and seller does not need.
This cage is made of steel with a plastic removable bottom. It has a door on the shorter side with 2 hasps. It is lockable with a separate lock (not included). It and folds down for storage under a bed or next to a fridge. There is an access panel on the bottom to remove the plastic tray without folding the cage down..
This is traditionally for a medium dog, but can be used for temporary shelter for a bird (large parrot, chicken, turkey, gull); rabbit (hare); hog (pig); or to transport injured or trapped squirrel, racoon, or possum.... . If you capture a gull and put it in here, I think a good name for it would be "Gully!" But I don't recommend that. Check your state wildlife laws before you attempt this. It might not be legal.
It's in good condition. Has a solid plastic bottom with raised edges, which makes cleaning up poop and pee easy. Also, spilling water is no problem. It will hold up to about 2 gallons.
If you have or want to buy the wire type cage you have to make sure there is a solid bottom because many of them for sale in classified ads are missing. The bottom may have cracked or got lost, so the owner sells the cage, while the buyer does not know this. Sometimes owners try to sell it incomplete -without this black tray. A steel wire cage without the plastic bottom is not suitable for pets because it's not a flat surface. That may cause injury to dogs and some other animals.
The flat plastic bottom has raised edges which will pool urine or spilled water from the dish (not included). Being somewhat smooth yet flat. In case the pet releases waste (goes #1 or #2), the flooring will pool the waste so it doesn't spill onto a hard wood floor or carpet inside a house, home, even in a car/suv/van or other vehicle. The tray is removable by pulling it out of the slot horizontally. This cage is a good option to leave a dog for a half day, so she doesn't go on the floor.
The whole cage can be tied down while in transport. Rather than tying with string or wire, what's easier is getting 2 to 4 elastic tarp straps with a hook on each end of each cord. Then hook the cage to seats or something like a seatbelt, or to the eye bolts in the back of a pickup truck. You're encouraged to drive slower for our friends in case of accident- there's no safety belt for the pet.

This can be used for a temporary shelter (dog house, doghouse ) the metal is painted and will rust slowly. To protect the steel cage part from rain, put the cage next to a building and lean a board at least 4 feet by 6 feet against the building diagonally against the cage; Or ...
place a board larger than the cage on top, and put bricks, a large rock, or a sandbag on top to hold it there like a roof.
