| Want to help stray cats Hello I want to help the stray cats in my neighborhood. It's starting to get pretty cold outside and these little buggers refuse to be indoors. I was looking at getting a heated outdoor shelter. Does anyone know of any good outdoor kitty shelters that can be heated? It is only two of them so I don't need anything really big.

| I used to put out a large milk crate with piece of carpet, then fluffy bed pillow, then fleece blankets and I'd find my sweet stray outdoor cat comfortably curled up in there even in single digit temps...You're such a honey to be concerned about these felines!!! |

| There is something about using a foam cooler. Keep in mind feral cats can carry rabies in fact in my state they are the lead carriers of rabies and they actually hurt the bird population.

For some strange I actually think someone is taking care of them because those cats are fatter than my indoor cat. | |

| We have feral cats that are bigger then my boy and he's 12 Lbs. In winter they look even bigger due to their winter under coat. I don't feed them. Some years back they were living under my deck in the winter, that was my girls hunting grounds, she ended up with fleas in the winter from the cats. I had to put chicken wire around the deck then put lattice to cover ugly chicken wire, no more cats. But poor Cody can't enjoy hunting like my girl did
