I am already so stressed out worrying about my ferals with winter coming!!! I go through this every year where I can’t sleep worrying about them. Anyone else have this kind of stress? I have lots of insulated feral cat houses with straw. I run about a 200 ft extension cord down to my woods and can plug in 1 or 2 with extreme weather heated beds in them.
I’d like them to have a protected area to walk around in that’s covered. I recently bought the lot next door and it has a gigantic barn thing with room underneath. One of the ferals already goes under there to wait for food every morning. I think I will stretch vinyl around most of the bottom to block the wind.
My main question is has anyone ever cut a hole in their garden shed? I am having a brand new 10 x 12 shed delivered tomorrow and am debating if I could cut a small 6 inch hole in it for the cats to have some shelter. Can a raccoon fit through there? I don’t want my new shed getting ruined from raccoons or opossums living in it. The other question is whether or not the cats would even go in there.
Someone online suggested a Shed-in-a-box ”portable” type shed with soft sides, maybe that would at least block some wind and snow. My neighbors are going to think I’m insane but I’ll feel better if the cats have multiple options. I wish I could think of a better heat option but it’s too far away from the house and I’m also afraid of fires.
I can’t talk to anyone that I know because they already think I’m nuts but I knew you all would understand! Thank you!
