Hi everyone. I care for a small outdoor colony that wasnβt planned, but once they showed up, I couldnβt turn my back on them. All are TNRβd, vaccinated, and fixed. They have food, water, and heated shelters, but winter has been especially rough this year. Weβve already some nasty weather with a lot of wet sleet, and many nights dropping to 8β19 degrees. The cold rain and snow are honestly harder than the cold itself.
What would help most right now: πΎ Kitten food β higher calories really help them maintain weight in the cold π½οΈ Covered shelter feeders β to keep food dry during rain, sleet, and snow π± Mini greenhouses β to place shelters inside so the cats stay dry and out of wind π§± Insulation β Iβve added 2 rolls already and it has made a huge difference on those brutal cold nights to their heated shelters
Every item goes directly to the colony and truly helps them get through winter more comfortably and safely. Thank you so much for even taking the time to read this, for caring, and for supporting rescue work in any way β even just kind words mean a lot. Happy New Year, and thank you for considering helping these cats stay warm and dry. πΎπ€

Hi! I grew up in Bluff City and live in Los Angeles now. I have a colony I care for here. I see the Drontal on your Amazon list. Check out pets megastore au for all cat med needs. Wormout is a great med and cheaper than drontal. Australian shop and even with the tariffs and shipping everything comes out cheaper than getting it here. They also have generic Revolution called Selapro for the cats who allow you to get close enough for spot on treatment. And no rx required to purchase! Fleaassassin.com has generic capstar and monthly flea treatment I use for the cats who I canβt get close enough to for spot on treatment. Best wishes to you and your colony!
Awesome. Thanks for advice!

This was a year ago yesterday. I just used a tarp and created a tunnel with straw. I had no clue what i was doing. Didn't know anything about cats.
totally better than nothing. wind and snow/water break, ground insulation, only thing missing was a few empty amazon boxes for beds.
Its all down now and have 4 feeding stations and raised heated homes across
Boosting to help out. Iβve seen a lotta strays in my old neighborhood (who all liked me) but never a colony like this!
They were all feral/drop offs. We have a acre of land so I've attempted to create several safe spaces around our property for them to live. They all have heated homes, heated water and food. I have successfully trapped 14 since February and all are fixed. I can't take them all in, so I just want them to have something. I appreciate the compliment. π»
Thank you for caring for these babies. Boost!!!!
