I can attest to the fact that shelters like this, plus food and water, really work. I took in a mom cat and five newborn kittens that had survived several days of severely cold weather in early February last year in a shelter very much like this.

NOTE FROM NANCY:
We tried as hard as we could, but we were unable to live-trap a couple beautiful feral cats, so we made a winter house for them.
Used a great pattern found online where there is a plastic container within a plastic container, and the bedding and insulation is straw. The straw is packed tight so it should be warm for the winter.
The front hole is completed with one of my 7" tupperware plastic canisters so the cats come and go safely. Now will see if it works. 
Ideally it would have been great to trap the cats and have them spayed/neutered, but they out-smarted us with every attempt. We will drop food out at their location on occasion, but I am sure they have a good diet with a restaurant nearby. This is about all we can do for them at the moment......just thought you might like to see the winter housing.

Carol followed the pattern and made a shelter for a cat that lives at the Homeless Shelter in Red Lake. It provides preat insulation from Minnesota winter cold.
Link to pattern and more info please?

Look under "Mike's Shelter" and you
will see the plans for this particular feral house.
Very nice work on the shelter. I am sure those cats will appreciate the warmth.
I'm glad someone could make shelters but its to bad no one would take them into a house with better warmth and loving.
There may be noticeably a bundle to find out about this. I assume you made sure good factors in options also. online casino gambling
