In reply to the discussion: So kitty showed up on my porch last night seeking shelter from the storm [View all]iamthebandfanman
(8,127 posts)50. Thanks for caring for the kitty!
and the other animals it sounds like you took in!
during our bad weather with super low temps a couple of weeks ago.. I started making kitty/animal shelters for the strays around me to stay warm in... im poor so I did it the best way I could...
tons of cardboard boxes, lots of plastic to cover the outsides with insulation, and blankets galore..
I already have 4 (down from 6 sadly in the last 2 years sadly) and they are no longer very keen on outside visitors or I would have just let them inside...
oh , and I did end up having same takers.. 3 to be exact ... two of them didn't really get a long for the few days they were there .. but they made due since it guaranteed them food/shelter during hard times
