Whenever its mind-numbingly cold outside, the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that there's a lot of homeless animals that have to deal with the cold, and a lot of them won't make it.
I made a few of these and wanted to share them with you- they're so easy to make! Cats and kittens can die very easily in the winter from hypothermia which a lot of people don't know, especially right now with the cold front that came through. (it's going to be -5 degrees tonight!) Now is a perfect time to make a shelter if you have a little free time. This is what they look like (picture attached)
A lot of us have stray feral cats around the neighborhood, but they aren't tame enough to come inside, or we don't know how they'd interact with our other animals, etc. A lot of animal shelters are overflowing with animals and won't even take new ones in, and when they do they run a chance of getting euthanized fast if they are feral. So here's an option to make a cat shelter that will keep them warm enough to survive in the winter months.
this is a great link that can help you with ideas to make shelters- the rubbermaid container with stray and styrofoam are the best and easiest! good luck
