I started taking care of a stray a few months ago and want to take her
to the vet for a checkup, shots etc. Even though stray someone had been
taking care of her, she's friendly and has gotten used to us pretty
easily.

But I cannot get her in a pet carrier! Ive tried several times and
several carriers, including a large one for dogs. Before I can get the
door closed she is out!!! I searched for a vet that would make house
calls but havent found one in Tulsa Ok. Any help will be
appreciated. Im trying to get her used to it a bit at a time with the
top off etc but hasnt helped yet

thx BC

Don't know if you've tried tipping the carrier on it's end (so the end
opposite the door is facing up). Wrap kitty in a towel (if possible)
and quickly put her in. Because of the way the carrier is situated, it
gives you a couple extra seconds to close the door.

also, do you have a carrier with both a top and side door? I've found
it helpful to have two doors, so you can get her in and out with
whatever door is handy.
