Here is a wonderful suggestion, and creating outdoor shelters for stray or community cats is such a meaningful way to help them stay safe and warm during the colder months. Here's a simple guide to making an inexpensive outdoor cat condo:
DIY Outdoor Cat Shelter
Materials:
• A large plastic storage bin (with a lid)
• A smaller plastic storage bin or Styrofoam cooler (optional, for insulation)
• Straw (not hay, as it holds moisture) for bedding
Box cutter or utility knife
• Duct tape or weatherproof tape
Insulation material (optional, like foam board or
Mylar blankets)
• Permanent marker (for cutting guide)
Steps:
1. Cut an Entrance
Use a box cutter to cut a round or square hole on one side of the large bin, about 6-8 inches in diameter, depending on the size of the cats. Position the hole a few inches above the bottom to prevent water from entering.
2. Add Insulation
Place the smaller bin or Styrofoam cooler
inside the larger bin for added warmth.
Insulate the space between the two bins with
straw, foam board, or Mylar blankets.
3. Bedding
Line the inside of the smaller bin or cooler with straw. Avoid using towels or blankets as they can retain moisture and freeze.
