This is the finished product:
We used duct tape, a utility knife, zip ties, an electric drill, a large sheet of home insulation (non-toxic, insect and mold resistant, about $9) and 30 gallon tubs, which were $10 each from Home Depot.
We cut the insulation material to fit the bottom and sides of the tubs
Taped it down so kitties can't chew on the edges
Cut holes in the sides to make doors, and covered the edges with duct tape for safety
Drilled some ventilation holes
Drilled holes, and used zip ties to make the door into a flap to keep the heat in, and hopefully less easy for other animals to get in (the flaps are taped open for the moment until they get the hang of it)
Secured the lids with zip ties, and put signs on top with a contact number
And put straw in for insulation, and as a "bed" - voila - one cozy cat box!!
