During the winter months remember our feline friends!


There are quite a stray cats living in SHAW.. 
If you are aware of any living close to you, maybe you have been feeding them, remember them in the winter months. 
Most of the time, they take care of themselves, scavenging and hunting for their meals while also depending on the kindnesses of cat lovers, but things can get a lot chancier when the weather turns cold..
If you are unable to bring them indoors, provide them with some kind of outside shelter, your garden shed or greenhouse.
Homemade shelters can be made out of nearly anything and should be placed in a sheltered place, from a sturdy cardboard box (think of the heavy cardboard used for packing television sets) to an anchored plastic litter bin to a few pieces of scrap wood that have been arranged as a buffer against the wind and snow and rain. Not too wide or tall. In fact, the smaller the size, the better the space will be equipped to retain the cats’ body heat.
And don't forget to put out fresh water regularly! In really cold temperatures it will freeze up!
