A collapsible/foldable structure comprising a top roof and a bottom platform defining a top and bottom of the structure and a front and rear collapsible wall each pivotally attached to the bottom platform to provide for pivotable collapse of the front and rear walls. The structure further contains a pair of sidewalls each pivotally attached to the roof to facilitate inward collapse of said sidewalls when said sidewalls are pivoted toward the bottom platform. The sidewalls further contain an upper, middle and lower section, wherein the upper and middle sections are pivotally attached to one another and the middle and lower section are also pivotally attached to one another so that the upper and middle sidewall sections can be pivoted inwardly towards the bottom platform. Furthermore, the top roof section further comprises two roof sections pivotally attached to one another at about the mid-point of the roof section, so that the two roof sections can collapse downwardly along the pivotable attachment toward the bottom platform. The collapsible/foldable structure herein is particularly useful as a shelter for domestic pets and other small animals.
