Have 14 strays and 5 new borns (all feral) so made a home out of laundry tub. Cut hole in front, lid is roof and through some throw blankets for warmth..... They seem to like it b/c i have the side all covered except entrance area.. they thnk they are hiding. good idea, I might scale a bigger version.

If it rains or snows, I take the carpet out (it's not glued down) and let it dry. Also, sometimes I put a little cat bed in it. Lately, though, we've finally got him and our two cats getting along well enough so he just comes inside if it's very cold out :) I've added a temporary fourth wall made out of a stiff pillow.

The entrance should be no larger than 6" x 6", and should be about 5 to 6" above ground. The shelter should also face a wall, to avoid the wind. Also, when carpet gets wet, it's almost impossible for it to dry in the winter, and it will freeze. The best thing to use is straw, hay, or "Pur Pads" from Petsmart, Petco. They retain the body heat.

I have used one and has fixed several feral cats (one or two could have been someone's pet) but I did'n't care, the cats didn't have chips, so they fixed them and then I released them back to where I trapped them. Most of them never returned (for many reasons as they had a home or they weren't going to get caught again-LOL). Search online for organizations that will lend you traps, you bring them in, then return them. I made friends with a feral (still can not carry or pick him up) but now I am leaving the area and have to find a shelter for him with walls, roof and 2 exits. This keeps him from being trapped inside if a pretitor approaches. Plus keep him warm during the raining and winter days.

Yes, there is an animal shelter here. I am calling the animal rescue team for the cats. I do not wish to give my address on here.

I don't really make these for a living, but if you pay me some money I can make and send some. Is there a no-euthanize animal shelter near you that can accept the feral cats? Where do you live?
