Best Elevated Outdoor Feral Shelter?

[wannahelp]

A few months ago, I saw a shelter on Amazon but it's no longer available . I wrote to the company, which I think, is in China, and never heard back.
Because we get snow and I don't have a porch or patio, I need something elevated. I don't work with wood nor do I know anybody who can build anything for me. I need something large enough to fit a few cats, preferably insulated, and with an escape door. I've been looking but can't really find anything. The discontinued shelter was the best one.

U can use plastic bind and cut a hole in it, insulate it and put straw

A rubbermaid container filled with straw makes a good shelter.


If you stand it on a couple of bricks and cover it with a tarp it will stay warm and dry in the snow. The tarp can be secured with tent pegs. Leave a 10 cm gap between the bottom of the tarp and the ground for the cats to get in and out.

I’ve seen those on a lot of feral websites. I can’t sem to find the right size bin and coordinating styrofoam cooker to fir inside.
Also, if we get enough snow, it could be as high or higher than the door(hole). The cats could be snowed in. I don’t have a place to put the shelter where it wouldn’t be exposed to the elments.
