    He hasn't been using the shelter from what we can tell. I'm wondering if it's because it won't feel that warm until he's in it. By
  • 02
    adding a heat source, maybe he will realize it's a good place to stay. We are getting straw soon and also rechargeable
  • 03
    handwarmers are coming tomorrow. We are going to put them in old socks and keep them
  • 04
    on low around the edges of the shelter. We don't have a way to use anything electrical.

    The shelter is in a place where it cannot get wet unless he's wet when he gets in it. Because of

    For those who don't know George yet -he was TNR (trap, neuter, release) on the 24th -we have been feeding him and
  • 09
    giving him water for over a month now. -we have checked for a chip and posted in every group

    we can find, at rescues, Nextdoor, neighbors, and even asked around. No one has claimed him. -he's estimated to be between 2-

    4 years old. -we cannot bring him in right now because we have 3 other cats and two senior chihuahuas. Partially because of

    money, but mostly because one of our kitties recently recovered from FIP and we have to keep her

    stress level to a minimum. -we have him on a waitlist for a rescue. -I do believe he was a pet

    trytobedecenthu... • 7h ago Is the shelter large enough for him to feel safe to get out fast? Where is it
  • 18
    situated? It looks like he's comfortable on your porch-- could the shelter be there?

    sunflwryankee • 6h ago Keep in mind that cloth and hay can absorb moisture and therefore cause freezing, etc... within the
  • 20
    shelter. Definitely stick with straw. He looks like a pretty hefty baby and will probably

    go inside the shelter once the cold gets thru his coat.
