One of my kitties has asthma. It was previously seasonal and I would just give her prednisolone for a few weeks each year (properly tapering the dose, of course) and she would be OK. For some reason, this year, she was not getting better, despite all of my other efforts: low-dust, unscented litter; removal of air fresheners from the rooms where she spends the most time; lysine to treat her feline herpes; a diet to get rid of some of her excess weight, etc. So, I took her to the vet and we were prescribed Flovent (I get a generic from Canada, but the inhaler looks pretty much like in the official product image and it fits perfectly into the chamber). This particular cat doesn't do well on prednisolone -- she gets an electrolyte imbalance and has some urinary tract issues when she is on it for long -- so it was important to get her off the drug. That meant using the inhaler. My vet specifically recommended this brand over any other. That may be because it's the only brand she had heard of, but I went with her professional recommendation. This comes with two masks. We are using the smaller one for my cat, but she has kind of a small head. It does a good job of covering her mouth and nose. It is some type of silicone and is easy to clean. (You should clean this item about once a week. You don't want your kitty with a sensitive respiratory system to be inhaling germs!) It is also easy to attach to the chamber part of the device. For a couple of weeks while I waited for my first inhaler to arrive, I merely did what I could to get my cat used to the device. You should know that this particular cat is VERY food-motivated. So what I would do is give her some treats to distract her while my husband prepared the AeroKat device. We would then hold it on her face, working up to 10 seconds. Then I would give her more treats while my husband put it away. (It doesn't really matter what the treats are. Just use something your cat already likes anyway.) I really did find that this device required two people. My husband sort of straddles the cat while on his knees and holds her head in place, while I hold the AeroKat up to her face and press the inhaler. I think it would be difficult for either of us to do this alone. (We have another cat who requires a lot of eye drops and we developed a procedure for giving him his eye drops that we have adapted to use with this aerosol chamber.) On the other hand, this cat is feisty and active and we have both been bitten and scratched a few times, but mostly now that she is used to the procedure, it goes smoothly. We have found that it is helpful to do the inhaler FIRST, before any other treatments. (This particular cat gets the inhaler twice a day. She is also getting a potassium gel right now to help improve her electrolyte situation, and some days she is still getting prednisolone, since we are tapering her back off that now that we have the inhaler.) When we would try to do the inhaler after the gel and/or pills, she would fight us more. So, inhaler first. There is a projection near the end of the tube where you attach the mask, where there is a little green silicone flap or membrane. When the cat is breathing into the device, this will move. Our goal is to have her wear the mask and breathe for 10 seconds, but we are usually happy if she takes at least a couple of breaths after the inhaler has been discharged. Watching this flap is super helpful (if the flap is not moving, the inhaler contents may not be getting to the cat's lungs, so this is important). Anyway, with proper preparation and training/bribing of the cat, this is easy to use. It is also easy to clean and it fits our inhaler perfectly. It is made of durable materials. And it is enabling me to get this cat off prednisolone, which seems particularly damaging to her system. Review: Just what the doctor ordered! - Having discovered that my cat's asthma has taken a turn for the worse, I was advised to put him on Flovent twice a day. After searching the web for cats and asthma, I found out about this product. Shipment was quick, the product seems to be exactly what is needed to use an inhaler with a cat. Now comes the problem - the cat. We practiced for many days with just the mask until he would let me keep it on his face for over 10 breaths. There was no medicine involved (that is a whole other story). There is a little 'flapper' you can see move so that you can count the breaths. While waiting for the Flovent to arrive, we had to make a quick trip to the vet after a day of serious 'wretching'. I brought the Aerokat with me in case the vet decided a rescue inhalant was required (Albuterol), which it was. This was our first experience with mask and medicine. The cat was so traumatized by the visit to the vet that he sat there and breathed in exactly as directed. I was proud of us both! The vet wrote a prescription for the Albuterol and I got it filled on the way home. We were to use the inhaler every 30 minutes if the symptoms hadn't stopped. By the time we got home, they started again, so I tried to put the mask to his face and that was that. Apparently not having strangers around and being at home removed the trauma and there must have been some memory of inhaling the stuff. He went nuts. Both my husband and I tried 4 times, together and singly, before giving up. Agitiating the cat further was not helping. The albuterol he did get seemed to make an already irritated throat worse. The day after, the cat ate and drank very little. I upped his prednisone dosage by half a pill and his coughing has slowed down, but we definitely want to try the Flovent and lower the pill dosage. However, training for the mask must start all over and the treat for putting up with it has been upped to something really good. We have a long way to go before attempting to actually use an inhaler again. It may be my guy is just more stubborn that those I have read about. There seem to be many success stories about cats using this device - check out YouTube. If you are reading this review, I assume you have an asthmatic cat. Be sure and check out a Yahoo group specifically for cats on inhaled medication (FAIM, for short) - [...]. There are lots of good hints and folks are quick to answer your questions. Update (11/23/12); We had our first 'puffing' session with the Flovent last night and he did amazingly well. I can't imagine any easier way to use an inhaler with a cat than the Aerokat. I had been putting the mask on without the unit and rewarding him with a treat if he even let it stay 1 second. When he got to the point where I could keep it there for 10 seconds, I started over with the entire unit. The longer it stayed on without him turning his head away hard enough for the mask not to be replaced into position, the more treats he got. Last night I loaded the unit and used the burrito method - I sat down, placed him with his back to me between my legs, held his head gently with my left hand and used my right one to place the mask and push the inhaler. He's not happy about it, but is cooperating and getting 4 treats for his effort. The group to check out is felineasthma_inhaledmeds on Yahoo. There is tons of information and people on board to answer your questions and provide help. I can't praise them enough. Update (12/31/12): After 5+ weeks using the Aerokat, Boots has been weaned off the prednisone and accepts his puffing sessions with grace. If I shake the treats bag, he will sometimes come to me on his own. The only thing he really doesn't care for is the after-session wipe down with a damp cloth. This is a great device, although expensive. In the long run, the cost will amortize out to next to nothing, but the hit to the pocket book in the beginning is a shocker. My advice to all is patience, patience, patience and treats, treats, treats! Update (1/21/16): After 3+ years, the unit is still in great shape. It can actually be washed on the inside to remove buildup, use a cotton tip to clear out the flapper area (very gently) to better see it. I did get a backup unit from a member of FAIM because I had read these had a 2 year lifespan - who came up with that number?. The mask with it is of noticeably inferior quality - the silicone/rubber is much thinner, so the masks may not last as long. However, the thicker mask with the unit I bought in 2012 is just as good as on day one. So, day be day, the cost for the unit amortizes out to less and less per day, but that still doesn't undo the sticker shock! For a unit that gets used for 3 puffs, twice a day, every day, even the back end insertion piece is holding up just fine. Note to newbies - asthma is not curable, so don't stop administering inhaled medication just because kitty is no longer coughing. That means it is under control. If coughing is continuing, you need a higher dose. You can do back to back with 110/125 mcg, but be sure to re-shake in between. 8/17/18: FAIM has moved to groups.io.

Inhalers for cats have the same sized opening as for humans and the common opening fits into the Aerokat. **Q: releasing med: when hand over chamber then put mask on cat, or when mask on cat?** A: I take the end cap off the inhaler. I shake inhaler well for about 15 seconds. Then I insert the inhaler (fits perfectly into the back of aerokat chamber). I keep the inhaler pressed tightly into the chamber by keeping my palm pressed against the back of it. Then I depress (1) puff of the medication directly into the chamber (it will stay in the chamber a few seconds and the chamber will slightly cloud up). Then I immediately apply the aerokat with mask attached to my cats face and the flap will start moving back and forth. After 7-10 breaths, it's done and I remove the mask. I find this way works better because my cat is much more calmer and accepts the treatment better than if I depress the inhaler after putting the mask on my cats face. I think the sound it makes when you depress it scares the cat and he tenses up. **Q: Anyone know where i can get an "unmedicated" inhaler to use as practice and get my cat used to the air sound before actually using the medicine?** A: I don’t really see why you would need an actual inhaler to practice putting the mask on your fuzzy little friend. You can practice putting the mask over its face and just make sure it breathes between seven and 10 times using the visual aid. **Q: Does this aerosol chamber inhaler come with an additional larger mask or only one small mask?** A: It comes with a small kitten sized one and a larger one size fits most 7-15 pound (avg sized) cats. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this has helped a lot with my asthmatic kitty *by S***O on June 30, 2017* This review will contain my opinion of and experience with the AeroKat device but also hopefully some tips to help you get the most out of it.

I purchased a new one because my other one was about 15 years old and I needed a second one for my other cat so that I didn't have to keep running back and forth in the house but even after 15 years of everyday use for my cat it remains durable and never gave me any problem I just took it apart and cleaned it from time to time. The size of the arrow cat is nice and it has different things for the face depending on how large or small the animal is. I cleaned the silicone pieces that go over there face as well so never any odor. The Aerokat saved my kitty with asthma many times because without being able to give the rescue inhaler I'm not sure that he would have lived for 17 beautiful years. I used it daily for his preventive inhaler. They are a bit costly but my first one is 15 years old and still working great ! ## Frequently Bought Together - Aerokat The Original Aerokat Feline Aerosol Chamber Inhaler Spacer for Cats and Kittens with Exclusive Flo-Vu Indicator - Cat Inhaler Spacer - 2 Mask Sizes for Giving Medicine to Your Pet-Helps Cat with Breathing & Delivering Medication Fits - Primatene Mist --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5580924-aerokat-the-original-feline-aerosol-chamber-inhaler-spacer-for-cats](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5580924-aerokat-the-original-feline-aerosol-chamber-inhaler-spacer-for-cats) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
