The Travel Habitat Carrier is a portable pet shelter designed by Zhihan Ying. It has an expandable structure that doubles the original backpack's size when it is not on the owners' shoulders. The shelter can transform into a spacious space for cats with ventilation. Other features include the integrated litter box and space for food and water bowls as well.
It is essentially a modular tent for pets and when folded up, the two straps allow it to function as a backpack. It has a flat back, which is unlike traditional pet backpacks. The back has a clear window for viewing and the mesh walls make it easily breathable on the go for comfort during longer trips.
