There's some really great tips here!

If you’re a cat caregiver in a region where winter temperatures drop below 32 degrees, you may struggle with preventing your colony’s fresh water bowls from freezing over. ❄️

But cats need water on a daily basis, even in the bitter cold of winter (especially if dry food is their staple diet). Fortunately, our experts have come up with a number of ideas for stopping or delaying freezing in chilly temps!

We love stories like this! This friendly boy was a true community cat.

"He will never be forgotten, there are kids that have grown up with him... he's just been sort of everyone's pet." 😻

A street sign has been installed next to a Nottinghamshire alleyway in memory of George, the "disarmingly friendly" cat, who died in 2023.

Great tip!

Feeding outdoor (feral or stray) cats kitten food in winter can actually be a very good idea — within reason.

Here’s why and how to do it safely:

🐾 Why Kitten Food Helps

Higher calories and fat content: Kitten food is more calorie-dense, which helps cats maintain body heat and weight in cold weather.

Extra protein: It supports muscle maintenance and overall health when energy demands are high.

Palatability: Many cats find kitten food tastier, encouraging them to eat more.

🥣 How to Feed It Safely

Mix with adult food: If you have a colony, you can mix kitten food with regular adult cat food (50/50 or 1/3 kitten food) to boost calories without upsetting stomachs.

Dry food is best in freezing temps: Wet food can freeze quickly, but dry food (especially kitten kibble) stays edible longer.

Provide warm water: Hydration is just as critical as food — use heated bowls or change water often.

Shelter helps maximize nutrition: Even a simple insulated bin or straw-lined shelter will help them use those calories efficiently.

⚠️ Caution

Feeding high-calorie food long-term (once temperatures warm up) can lead to weight gain or digestive issues. Switch back to adult food in spring.

🚩 Always ensure any new community cats are spayed/neutered to prevent more kittens in the colony.
