I have 9 feral cats where I use to live at and i prove food for them and i have friends who feed them for me. Today i went  pass there to make sure that there shelter are okay and to put some extra thing in side there shelter are in the woods and some are in my old neighbor backyard but i'm scared that they will get buried in the snow if the snow get to high and will they survive in there shelter will they be able to come out because when i use to live there i could  keep a eye on them and dig them out but the lady who feed them shes elderly she can't go out and do it I'm just so scared for them.

Is it possible to move the shelters to higher ground temporarily?  Maybe an old table or a piece of wood on some cinder blocks?  If not, most feral cats have numerous places they use for safety.  If one is unavailable, they usually have other options.  If your friends are closer and you get a lot of snow, ask them to come and dig a path for the cats.  Be sure they can get to the shelters as well as move around the area.

It is best to stuff the shelters with straw (never use hay) as they can burrow down into it and it will keep them warm and dry.  If you are using blankets and they get wet, the cats cannot keep warm at all. 

Thank you for caring for the feral cats.  It is nice of you to come back and be sure they are ok.  Have you made sure that they are all spayed and neutered?
