I've been working with a local cat that was clearly abandoned by her owner. When i open the door she runs to the door to wait for me to open it so she can go in. Clearly she's a domesticated cat. She also knows from across the street when I open a can of wet cat food for her.
She was horribly skinny a month ago i think, when it was very hot outside she'd lay under my car panting. but it's cooled off significantly. I fed her daily and chased off the dogs when they tried to eat her food (I've got surveillance cameras so i know what's going on). I could feel all her bones in her back when I first started tending to her. now i can't. But she's eating 3 cans of food a day. I feed her as much as she'll eat because It's starting to cool off quite a bit. It's 53 outside right now and has been rainy.
I called the local rescue group and they are over the limit and can't take her. I can't bring her in for numerous reasons so I'm stuck figuring out a way to keep her alive.
it's going to get below freezing soon, and I need to help her. I've seen a couple heated outdoor cat 'houses' but I need to know if anyone has a recommendation. The one I saw is here: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/813...cm_ven=FROOGLE but it's the only one I can find.
It doesn't have to be super sturdy. We have a covered carport and plenty of dry concrete. But I need a place for her to sleep. if she doesn't sleep in it, I'll figure she's got a home somewhere else. but I can't stand the thought of her freezing.
Any suggestions?
