Product Description
Trudell Medical International (est. 1922) developed the AeroKat* chamber to specifically account for the unique needs of cats in respiratory distress, for example the presence of fur, differences in face shape, breathing patterns and behavior. Adapted from leading technology in human chambers, The AeroKat* chamber is made exclusively in Canada with Canadian and USA parts from the makers of the leading AeroChamber* brand of chambers for humans, which are used by doctors in over 100 countries around the world.
The AeroKat* aerosol chamber can be used with any feline inhaler, metered dose inhaler (MDI) or puffer that your veterinarian has prescribed for a respiratory condition.
The AeroKat* chamber has exclusive features, such as the Flow-Vu* Indicator, low-resistance inhalation valve and antistatic holding chamber. These features ensure that your cat benefits from medication, and you save on your annual cat medication costs! Made in Canada with Canadian and USA parts by Trudell Medical, makers of the leading human aerosol chamber AeroChamber* brand of chambers, our product is of the highest quality. Our results have been validated by reviewed clinical studies and tested in an industry-leading aerosol laboratory to ensure optimum performance.
BETTER PERFORMANCE, LESS MEDICATION WASTE
We’ve designed the AUTHENTIC AeroKat* chamber with exclusive features that reduce medication waste and help you save on your cat’s annual inhaled respiratory medication costs:
- State-of-the-art Flow-Vu* Indicator
- Low-resistance inhalation/exhalation valve
- Antistatic holding chamber
- Non-stick masks in two sizes
The AeroKat* chamber has been shown to keep more medication available so your cat has time to inhale the dose. Inhalation delay is important because: 1) Cats may instinctively hold their breath when you first apply an inhaler mask; 2) Cats typically require 7-10 breaths to empty the chamber; 3) Puffing the medication into the AeroKat* chamber before applying the mask can prevent startling.
*TMI data on file. Chambers used directly out of package. Medication delivered measured at the mouthpiece past the valve with 2-second inhalation delay. Results reflect the performance of the anti-static MWI VetOne 2-in-1 Feline Aerosol Chamber and the average performance of four non anti-static chambers. Cost annualized based on 2 puffs per day and 280 dollars per canister.

AeroKat* is the only feline aerosol chamber that features the innovative Flow-Vu* Indicator. This indicator allows you to check that the mask is fitted correctly and count the number of breaths taken. Without a proper mask fit, your cat may not get the medication. The Flow-Vu* Indicator allows you to count as your cat takes the 7-10 breaths required to empty the chamber. This feature is designed to ensure the full dose is delivered to your cat’s lungs. |
The AeroKat* chamber has a high-performance, low-resistance inhalation valve that is extra-sensitive so that it opens even with shallow breathing. On exhalation, the valve seals to prevent exhaled breath from blowing medication out of chamber to help ensure a higher delivery rate with less medication waste. |
The AeroKat* chamber is made from a shatter-resistant, non-static polymer. Our anti-static aerosol inhaler space ensures medication doesn’t stick to the sides, holding it aloft until your cat is ready to inhale. This design makes medication more readily available for inhalation deep into the lungs. |
The AeroKat* chamber includes a small mask for use with cats and kittens weighing up to 10lbs and a medium mask for cats weighing over 10lbs. Each mask is made from comfortable silicone rubber that won’t stick to the skin or pull fur. |
Using the AeroKat* Chamber is easy! Simply follow these four steps:
- Shake inhaler and insert into back of chamber
- Press the inhaler to release medication
- Apply the mask to cover the nose and mouth but not the eyes
- Use the Flow-Vu* Indicator to count 7-10 breaths
Easier than pilling or injections, you may be surprised how accepting cats are of the AeroKat* when you follow the condition, love, reward approach:
Condition: Entice your cat by giving treats before use; start with the mask only to familiarize your cat with the device; pump medicine into the chamber first to avoid startling your cat, then fit the mask to your cat’s face. Love: Hold your cat in a favorite towel or blanket for comfort. Reward: Give your cats treats after each use.

Consider yourself lucky if your cat immediately is comfortable using it. Mine wanted nothing to do with it initially so I did my best to not let her sense my distress that she didn't want what would ultimately make her feel better. Over the next couple of weeks I kept it by one of our cuddle spots, worked on figuring out how best to hold her for it without picking it up and used treats to motivate her to get comfortable with seeing it then put treats in the little mask for her to retrieve so she got familar with what it felt like on her face.
The breath indicator told me when she was feigning compliance and holding her breath. She still doesn't LIKE it but tolerates it better than getting her nails trimmed! Kissing her head or stroking her chest or sometimes even just having my hand on her chest as she breathed has become soothing to us both.
So worth all the time and patience so that she no longer has to take pills that had started causing concerning GI problems.
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.
I did set it out the first few days on the floor so he could see it and become somewhat familiar. I set it on my bed too. I tried to use it with him while sitting on the floor and that did not provide me with enough leverage to keep him in place. Later I brought him to my couch and positioned him on my left hand side next to the couch arm that has a pillow against it. I feel fortunate that he is a somewhat docile cat. I would pet him and feed him wet food afterward as positive reinforcement. This is day 4 for me actually using it and he seems to be getting used to it. But I make sure to approach with kind, positive, yet thoughtfully assertive energy so he doesn’t start to equate the whole thing as an entirely negative experience. I tried to remind myself not to have super high expectations in the beginning as this is new to both he and I, and we need grace with each other. The first few times are experimenting. Try not to be discouraged.
I don’t know what this inhaler will bring for him regarding his overall health, but the product itself seems to be very good and I’m glad I didn’t cut corners trying to save 20 bucks.
As a side note, I make a singing sound to while pressing the inhaler! 😂 He does not like the noise too much so I sing!
