Setup and Assembly
The Amazon Basics Cat Cage is designed for quick and easy setup with no tools required. It conveniently folds flat for transport and storage.
- Unfold the Main Frame: Carefully unfold the main wire frame of the cage. Ensure all panels are extended and locked into place. The cage is designed to snap into its upright position.
- Attach the Wheels: Turn the cage upside down. Insert the four locking wheels into the designated slots at the bottom corners of the cage. Push firmly until they click into place. Ensure all wheels are securely attached before turning the cage upright.
- Insert the Floor Pan: Place the large, leak-proof plastic floor pan into the bottom of the cage. Ensure it sits flat and securely within the base.
- Install Interior Shelves: Position the three interior shelves at desired heights within the cage. The shelves have a lip to hold the plastic tray in place. They can be adjusted to provide vertical space for perching or napping.

Operating Instructions
- Access Doors: The cage features two large swing-open doors, one for the upper section and one for the lower section, allowing easy access to the interior for placing or retrieving your pet, food, water, or litter box.
- Secure Latches: Each door is equipped with secure-locking latches to ensure your pet remains safely inside. Always double-check that both latches are fully engaged after opening and closing the doors.
- Maneuvering: The four locking wheels allow for smooth maneuvering of the cage. To move the cage, unlock all four wheels. Once the cage is in the desired position, engage the locks on all wheels to secure it in place and prevent accidental movement.
- Shelf Adjustment: The three interior shelves can be placed at various heights to create different levels for your cat to climb, perch, or nap. Experiment with different configurations to find what your pet prefers.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain a hygienic environment for your pet and extend the life of the cage.
- Plastic Floor Pan and Shelves: The leak-proof plastic floor pan and interior shelves are removable for easy cleaning. Simply slide them out, wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before returning them to the cage.
- Wire Frame: Wipe down the durable rust-resistant steel wire frame with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or harm your pet.
- General Inspection: Periodically check all parts of the cage for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Tighten any loose connections and replace damaged parts if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Cage feels unstable or wobbly. | Ensure the cage is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that all four locking wheels are engaged and locked. Verify that all frame connections are securely snapped into place. |
| Doors do not close securely. | Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing fully. Ensure the latches are aligned correctly and engage properly. Adjust the door slightly if needed. |
| Wheels are difficult to move or lock. | Clean any debris from the wheel mechanisms. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged when attempting to move the cage. |
| Plastic trays slide too easily. | Ensure the trays are correctly seated within the shelf's lip. While designed to be removable, excessive sliding might indicate an uneven surface or incorrect placement. |
