I got lucky. I found a nice size styrofoam box, that mug is about 4in thick

Wonderful. Why do you need drain holes in the cooler?

I bought a cooler on Amazon for $25 for the biggest size you have there. I will make it a shelter. Thank you!

Thank you kindly for making this video!!

Hellp your dogs. Thank you

I invested 3 coolers for outdoor cat shelters. The ferals love them & use it every night. I was very surprised how warm they are. Definitely better then the other options & it’s much easier to clean & maintain as well.

I made one of these cooler shelters for a stray neighborhood cat. A lot of times you can just find a free cooler out in the trash if you are ok with comet cleaning it. The coleman I got was a pull around type so the wheels and handle needed to be removed. Because of the odd shape, the lid became the floor. A lot of these coolers also have textured lids on the inside which are not flat. I made it flat with a laid piece of insulated foam board then added a layer of reflective car sun shield on top. Then a blanket. That’s more insulation than in most homes. Finally added around 25 watts of 1/4 watt Christmas lights mounted in the ceiling in front of another piece of reflective car sun shield. The floor is so well insulated with lid, foam board, reflector, blanket that no heat matt is needed. The cat will heat the floor, the lights in the ceiling will heat the floor and the cat. If you use bulbs for heat, just make sure they are very low wattage bulbs, otherwise they pose a fire hazard. Don’t stick a 30 watt bulb in there! You have to spread the heat source out so the bulbs can not burn.

I make feral shelters like this but I like to line the inside walls with emergency foil blankets and stuff it with straw for better insulation. Best cooler to use is the Huskee Hercules due to the thick walls.

How does beef come to the table you think?

My semi feral prefers to have a secondary exit in the tote version that I made, but at least it's being used. I also have a heated cat house (that is kept in a covered area), a small Igloo type dog house filled with insulation and straw (never hay); and an unused plastic child's playhouse/climbing thing (that used to have a small slide) covered and insulated with sheets of insulation and more straw. And I only have one outside cat! Also, for these cooler cat houses - keep your eyes out during trash days, yard sales, etc. You can get free coolers that people just don't want anymore for free/cheap that way.

You're a good human ❤️

How do you get a feral cat to use it? He stays on our porch at night but seems to not trust anything.

2 LUNESTA'S LEFT- THE ONLY OPTION shck IS AWARE OF IS TO LITERALLY GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO REFILL BUT, SHOULD shck PUT ALL HIS CARDS ON THE TABLE AND START EXPLAINING WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH - YOU KNOW- EXTREMELY SHORT michael bloomberg AND IMPENDING INMATES AND HOW THAT'S ~30% OF THE REASON WITHOUT THESE PILLS HE'S LIKE 0-3 MAX SLEEP? OR DOES HE BULLSHIT HIS WAY THROUGH- THIS IS GUNNA BE LIKE WHEN THESE CATEGORY 5 HURRICANES HIT AND IT'S LIKE YOU GOT THE PICTURES BRACING FOR IMPACT- SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE- EVEN WITH THESE PILLS shck HAS TO DO 28,800 SECONDS OF NONSTOP NONSTOP NONSTOP paper pusher WORK AND WHEN WHEN NOT IF- WHEN SOMETHING GETS MISSED OR WRONG OR SOMETHING THAT'S HOW THESE paper pusher jobs WORK- EVENTUALLY YOU GET WROTE UP LIKE hairy greek pubic hairy jamiedimon (I DIDN'T KNOW hairypubegreek WAS RACIST!!!)

I was going to say that they need camouflage because not everyone loves them like me. I think I can get coolers cheap too and put a few in the garden in hidden places where the cats go for shelter anyway...Thank you x

Brilliant idea...Our feral cats seem wary of anything that doesn't have a way out as well as in but using a bit of carpet (or something similar to windproof the entrance/exit I think I can make a few of these before it gets too cold...of course London is never as cold as Scotland but I still think they need shelters.

omg how can they do this to theses beautiful dogs please stop the evil trade please:(
