The other day I ran across a really cool idea on Facebook that I thought I would pass around. Many of us have lots of feral cats in our neighborhoods that we might try to catch to bring in to a shelter that just can’t be caught. Cats are clever creatures, after all. Sometimes it’s also simply not safe to catch them. So how else can we help?
Some people set out food for ferals, but I hadn’t heard of setting up a shelter for them until I saw this photo. You can make a really easy insulated shelter for cats during the winter months with some Styrofoam with these simple steps. My family and I make bat and bird houses, but the most we’ve ever done for ferals—aside from catching a few and finding them homes—is keep our shed open to allow them safe passage during the cold months. Still, our shed isn’t insulated—this box is.
