When the weather gets cold, your heart likely aches for the poor kitties who are stuck outside without a family. Here are a few ways you can help those strays during the coldest months of the year.

Set out a little food for those strays. It’s even better if you can set out a high calorie food, as it can help those cats keep their weight up, ultimately keeping them warm. Just make sure you don’t leave food out all the time. Otherwise, you can attract other animals that you may not want to feed, like raccoons.

Create a warm place for those cats to rest. It can be as simple as lining an old plastic tub with insulated material and cutting a hole in the side. It will keep strays safe from the weather.
