I've got 2 feral male cats that's outside.I have 2 house's for them.The one male has been put there over a year.I don't know where they go all the time.The other male has been outside maybe since March or April.I have their mates & their kittens inside.

Remember that fabric (like blankets) is not a good idea for insulation because it absorbs moisture/humidity and actually makes it colder to lay on when temps drop. People mean well by adding blankets into shelters but it's actually MORE dangerous. Use straw. Great point about raising the bed off the ground too. Even a 1" clearance will help prevent conductive heat loss, where the cold ground literally sucks any warmth from the bed. Same principle for why you don't sleep with your sleeping bag directly on the ground.

We told y'all we weren't done yet, right?😼

Today was a special transport to the Lynchburg Humane Society for five lucky kitties. We had previously TNR'd three of these guys (and two more were done earlier this week). They lived in a trailer park in Cana, but, sadly, their owners had either moved away or died. Local feeders were caring for them until last month the owners of the property announced they were selling and everyone needed to clear out. 😿

We are working hard to rehome all of the friendly cats from this location and find alternate feeders for those who would prefer to remain outdoors, but it's been a process. We are so thankful to our transport partners, like Lynchburg Humane Society for helping us with this process!❀❀❀

Thanks also to long time volunteers, but first-time transporters Erica and John Crookshanks for making the drive, and the always amazing foster - and TCHS president - Becky Bloomfield for taking them in (before today's transport she was caring for 14 cats from this colony alone!!).

We're still not done - see ya soon!😻

I think Larry and I have fostered about 24 kitties from this one colony (over several months). They are the sweetest, most loving cats. They just need a chance.

So happy to see these CW cats on their way to better lives 😻😸😺. I can bring more Becky 🀣. Just kidding - they have been a great group of cats & I'm so grateful you have been able to foster so many πŸ₯° over the past several months.

God richly bless you

Bless you all

I’m so happy they are getting a better life. Thank you!!

Look at those beautiful, lucky kitties! Thank you everyone! 😻😘

Amazing! This community is blessed to have such dedicated volunteers to help these babies. Thank you all!
