Holy cow, 20 strays. You might want to check to see if your city or county has a spaying/neutering program that could sterilize all the strays.

As for Charlie, he's been regularly coming inside our house whenever it's cold out. I took him to the vet a loonng time ago, and he is in great health, apart from a chipped tooth. He got all his shots and everything, so he should be okay as far as FIP or FLVP.

Good luck with your herd of stray cats, let me know how that goes.

Awsome, He is socializing!! I hpe that you had him to the vet and checked out before introducing him him to your cats. Making sure he is not caring anything like FIP or FLVP which can be comon in stry kitties. But, he looks very healthy and beautiful. Kudos on the house I am going to see what I can come up with. WE have about 20 strays here and winters can get very rough here. I keep food out for them, but one of the mom's just had about 5 kits so I need something for the lil buggers.

good idea, I might scale a bigger version. 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.

I challenge you to a build-off, or "bild-off", as it were.

I've added a temporary fourth wall made out of a stiff pillow. 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

It's a great idea , but please consider adding a fourth wall to keep the cat warm and protected. 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.

Thanks!
