Helping Cats with Cooler Shelters
In many places, stray cats live outside in cold or hot weather. They often don’t have a safe, dry place to sleep. One simple way to help is by making cat shelters from old coolers or plastic containers.
Coolers keep food cold, but they can also keep cats warm in winter or cool in summer. People cut a small door in the side and add blankets or straw inside. These shelters are waterproof and easy to clean.
Making a cat shelter is a great way to help animals in your neighborhood. You can place it in a quiet, safe spot away from traffic. It’s also helpful to give clean water and a little food.
