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

They are far more resourceful than you think. Knew a feral Tomcat that lived under storage containers. And my own Sheba, who I eventually took in, was living under our office for two years.

Both lived there during the snows. Both we feed.

Both my cats I rescued myself. Shaba is getting old now. Yet I have had her over three different moves and even when I was homeless myself.

I wouldn't give her up even when it was inconvenient. She stuck with me the whole time through.
