Found a lovely little feral cat shelter & feeding station on Items for Sale or Free in Bantry (a great FB resource in my area). It needs a bit of weather proofing (primarily a more overhanging roof), but works lovely in the rare sunshine – got some snaps of my guys checking it out when it was installed.
In the cold weather it’s especially important to provide community cats with warm shelters and safe, dry feeding stations. There’s some great info from the Humane Society on winter care for colony cats generally here.
