Cats love them! If there is no electrical hook-up available, microwavable SnuggleSafe Disks provide warmth up to 10 hours. Outdoor heating pads are an excellent addition. We recommend providing insulated shelters stuffed with straw to keep cats comfortable.

They grow a very thick coat of fur in the winter and find places to seek refuge from the elements. Outdoor cats are amazingly resilient to cold temperatures. Feral cats thrive best in their familiar outdoor environment where they are comfortable and free. A feral cat can thrash against windows trying to get out, get into rafters or other inaccessible places, or urinate or defecate in undesired locations. Captive feral cats can get upper respiratory infections, diarrhea and even depression.

As with humans, stress can lead to illness. If a cat is not socialized to people, he/she will be extremely stressed in captivity. It is unwise to bring a truly feral cat indoors.
