It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ Modify ready-made outdoor cat house with foamboard insulation lining, block one door & reduce main door size to 5x5" w/ wood for better protection better protection from cold, rain, snow. @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#communitycats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ Transform your existing cat shelters into mix 'n' match high-rise apt. complex by layering w/ sheets of plywood. Use cinder blocks for stable foundation & bricks/rocks as roof weights. @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#communitycats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ Whether simple or fancy, adding an awning to your winter cat shelter keeps rain and snow out and keeps cats dry as they peer out the door to monitor their surroundings. @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#communitycats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ Adding a windbreak wall inside the doorway of your shelter creates a "mudroom" for blocking wind π¬οΈ and trapping snow βοΈ and rain π§, plus a cozy kitty bedroom! π» @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#communitycats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ Sub-freezing temps are coming to NYC/LI, so double-check your winter cat shelters to minimize drafts. Face entrance away from wind or behind windbreak like wall, shrub, another cat shelter. @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#communitycats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ Ordering #communitycats shelter straw online rather than buying in-person? Check product dimensions! These straw bales looked perfect online, but when they arrived, actual "bales" were teeny-tiny! ππΎπΉπΏ @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ What is ideal size for winter cat shelter door? Small enough to minimize heat loss, big enough for largest colony cat to come and go. Thor says 5Β½" round or 5x5" square hole is ju-ust right. @bideawee#nycfci#feralcats#communitycats#tnr
It's #WinterShelterWednesday! π¬οΈβοΈπ π‘οΈπ In most cases, cat shelters should have ONLY 1 DOOR! 2nd door creates drafts & lets in more cold air & moisture. Predators can't enter 5"x5" door & #communitycats#feralcats are far safer inside than running outside. @bideawee#nycfci#tnr
