We're cross-posting this guide over from r/Feral_Cats for anyone who has been visited recently by the Cat Distribution System that might be wondering how to keep cats safe and comfortable outside through cold and snowy weather. It covers a simple but effective DIY insulated tote shelter that will keep them warm and dry through the worst weather, along with instructions for a temporary emergency shelter that can be put together on short notice with a few basic materials you may already have on hand. Also included are general care, safety tips, and other considerations for providing for stray or feral cats outside throughout winter.
This guide is geared more towards cold weather care, but the basics for shelters also apply for hot climates! For those currently experiencing summer weather that are looking for more specific tips on keeping cats cool and hydrated on hot sunny days, also check the r/Feral_Cats wiki on Hot Weather Care!
