I've been feeding two adult and two about 6 month old ferals everyday at 8:00 p.m. I put out two bowls of kitten food mixed with one can of food in each bowl. I figured kitten food might give them extra fat to get them through the winter. It's been so cold schools have been closed. Is there anything extra I could feed them to keep their bodies better able to get through this extra cold time? I don't know where they live but they are very feral. They show up on my porch every night at about 7:45 ready for their dinner. My condo has strict rules about taking care of ferals so I can't put housing outside for them. So all I can do is put the bowls out at 8:00 and take in the empty bowls back in at 8:30.
A co-worker said to put bacon grease in with the food to give them extra fat which would help them. Before I tried this I wanted to make sure it wouldn't make the cats sick. Several months ago I was able to get one of the kittens in my house and now he is a very much loved and spoiled house cat. I really want to make sure his clan survives this harsh winter.
Thanks for any advice on how to do this.
