@@kayleyblackwell1622 There was no distaste on my side as far as Marcy as a person or a Christian. I have Christian friend and family (yadda, yadda, I know how it sounds). lol but I do and I love them. What I find distasteful is when a Christian cannot thank anyone without giving the credit to someone else, i.e their particular god. There are many of us who don't have gods and realize that they are not real and that the bible is just one of many myth stories from long ago that is clung to. I don't believe in it. And I don't have to and I can speak the truth about it and shouldn't be attacked as though I'm being hateful for doing so. It's not hate. Speaking the truth isn't hate and shouldn't be seen as such. Thank you for trying to be kind. I appreciate it. It's always better to have a nice conversation! I get a lot of angry backlash. I don't mind at all, I'm quite used to it. I think the anger is fear.

Thanks Wheeler, I have started making several houses from the plastic containers although I have a gentleman who has done work on my house who's going to help me build some like yours but knowing him I probably won't get them until next season. LOL!! I love my ferals, I wish I could coerce them to come inside for the winter. I feed them twice a day for 6 years and they still run until I go inside. Only one lets me pet him.

My husband built me four cat houses for stray/feral cats at my house also, but they aren't on legs as I keep them on my covered porch and in my breezeway. He even insulated them with Styrofoam as we live in the Northeast where it gets cold and snowy and yes I do put straw inside them! We did not put two doors in, but that is a good idea!

I really like what youve made,Great idea..We also have cats and my husband made a large wooden box with 6 compartment to it,the only differance it doesnt have legs and it sits on our front porch to stay out of the rain/snow,it is so large and heavy,the top does come up like yours..Plus it is insolated with R19 and has a electric heating blanket under another blanket and all the straw..Last year the cats loved it ....and seem to be using it alot this year so far.

I love your jobs sir , thanks for sharing , I hope more people love feral cats , because they are very poor things , they need love from Human , I hope more people can adopt them.

I am doing the TNR method with cats am trapping in my town. There is around 20+ cats. So far, I trapped 7 cats (5 females and 2 males) and let them go back to where they are living. Its so sad to see that many cats without a home. Next, am going to try some how to build them a shelter. They are currently sleeping in a storage building.

FIVER CATS: Great video.....love the houses. One thing you could add is a "Snugglesafe" in each house. You can buy them on Amazon and are very affordable (cheap actually). They are a hard plastic disc that you put in the microwave for five minutes. It heats up the element inside and stays warm for 8-12 hours. You could put that under the hay to also help warm the beds. It's not a fire hazard since the outer coating is such a hard, thick plastic. They even come with a little cover.

Fabulous shelters! Kudos!

rubber roofing with an adhesive back makes a great material for waterproofing a cat house. rolls of rubber roofing can be purchased at your local lumber yard. this material can also be used on the sides of your cat house to protect the walls from inclement weather. when constructing the roof, make sure there is an overhang to shield the walls from falling rain. also make sure the cat houses are raised to insure that water isn't seeping in from the bottom. good luck!

Nice! I just inherited 8 feral cats last week. I appreciate the tips on not using carpet, and to use straw instead.

Nice environment of your cats more blessings

You are a superstar! This is amazing! My dad spreads a bit of flee powder under the bedding where he knows the feral cats sleep. Maybe putting some underneath the straw would be a good idea here?

Thank you and your wife for doing this. I've been rescuing lost, dumped and feral cats for decades. I hope to finally have a new friend. Help me build a few of these with insulated walls. I live in Wisc so it can get pretty brutal here. Temps, strong winds and freezing rain and of course drifting heavy wet snows too. I've been using two different dog houses with padded walls and old but like new really fluffy this blankets. That I was every few months. Or throw away and replace.

What a caring thing to do. I thank you on behalf of the cats! The fact that you spayed and neutered shows how much you care; how very responsible of you. If everyone would spay/neuter the problem would soon be eliminated and end so much of the suffering in the cat population. I adopted a feral colony several years, spayed & neutered each one. Little by little I tamed them all and they now live in harmony. I have no husband, no one to help with a project such as this.

I have caught and rescued about 15-20 cats in my town and paid to get so many spayed and neutered and then if some want to stay with me, even though I've paid to fix them, neighbours will still complain if a cat simply walks on their lawn. People have lost their damned minds when it comes to animals. Thank you, sir.

This is a great idea. I need a shelter for my cat. She moved over here from next door after last winter was over with. Chantilly/Tiffany. Doesn't have an undercoat. Worried sick about her for this winter coming. Made a temporary shelter on my porch out of a box (front entrance, bed and escape route) until I can get to a Petco. It worked fine until a baby Copperhead showed up. I really like this cat. Her being there kept my nephew from getting bit. That means the world to me. She was actually smacking the snake around. Gotta do something soon. God bless you and your wife. :)

I very much enjoyed your video ! My husband and I are making one this year to see if there is a need for it! Just in case ! We live in the country. I asked our local hardware store in town if they would put up a posting about building these shelters so that people can be aware of how they can help and she said yes ! Every bit helps for sure!

sandra dube PEACE AND BLESSINGS to you

Hi Tim! The biggest thing that helps keep other animals away is to be sure the feeding area is well maintained. Feeding at specific times, then cleaning it up when the cats are done is helpful for keeping other critters away.

Connie, if you get the cats used to eating at a specific time each day, they are usually there waiting for you. You can put the food down and remove it within half an hour. This ensures that there's no leftover food that will attract other wildlife. Raccoons are particularly dangerous to kittens, so when possibly, be careful to remove excess food as soon as possible after the cats are done eating. Good luck!

That's really cool dude. I live in Cali so I won't make mine so high off the ground. Just high enough to keep the rain out. Thanks for the video :)

@Glaucidium810

One of the reasons to put it up high is to protect the cat from predators (raccoons, snakes etc). .

I line my cathouses with styrofoam sheets to insulate them. And mine is on our deck so I can plug in heating kennel pads for them. These things are great! I have purchased at least 6 of them and they are plugged in all winter and I've never had one fail yet.

Hi Tori! We have some other wildlife around, but I haven't seen anyone other than the occasional squirrel venture into the houses. Having them a bit off the ground helps for skunks. Only putting out what food will get eaten by the cats and cleaning up bowls and leftover food when they are done helps keep other critters away.

We adopted a feral baby cat and named her Annie. When it got cold (not that cold, we lived in Key Largo) or stormy, she would sleep in our boat’s cabin. We took care of her for 15 years but couldn’t touch her. We moved to Gainesville and she couldn’t tolerate the change so our neighbor adopted her from us. Annie is 18 in human years, and still healthy and happy.

I just tamed a feral kitten and she now happily lives inside.

The difficult to enter "escape door" is an excellent idea

We made a cat shelter one winter when we noticed a few cats coming around. It was on our covered patio. We put an old table out there with a tarp under it. We completely covered the entire table with a plastic tarp. We put a heat lamp and heated water bowl and fed them daily. We put a lot of hay in it as well. About 3/4 of a way through a brutal winter, we found we had attracted so many possums and racoons that the cats no longer used it. Needless to say, we regrettably never made another one.

What an awesome hubby! Thank you and your wife. 😻
