DIY Feral Cat Outdoor Shelters for winter

I recently had some cameras installed at my front and back entrances and have noticed that there are two stray cats that run across my front doorstep almost every night between 1 AM and 5 AM. I’ve asked my neighbours about them and nobody has seen them.

The temperatures are dropping and it’s getting really cold out there at night now so I am building two feral cat shelters to put along the front of my house where they roam.

If you have feral cats near your house, maybe you could build a shelter for them? This video is one i got from my local spca but there are lots of different ideas online

we had feral cats and kittens at my work. we built a cathouse outside and stuck a heater in it (even though it doesn't get super cold here, but sometimes it can). there was also an entrance where they could enter the warehouse and eat and sleep in one of the offices when we weren't there.

one time a mother abandoned her litter and we found them in the bushes. one sadly died but we were able to find homes for the other 3
