Okay, as long as he’s got indoor access and warmth. But if you have to be away and he has to be outside, don’t take chances. A double cooler shelter with styrofoam lining and straw makes for a snug winter shelter.

I think George needs glasses so he won't need to squint so much, take him to Wills eye for a vision exam.

Poor little George is going to freeze his beans off. Can front porch George become house George? Asking for a friend 🙂

If you need straw for your cat shelters let me know. I bought way too much salt straw and I’d be happy to share with any fellow cat shelter havers.

Please, if you are going to take care of him, take him in and give him a good home. Obviously you are feeding him, or he wouldn't stay around. My sister did this, and guess what? Other cats find out about the food you've been leaving him. My sister ended up with 50 cats. Feeding them all. Getting them spayed. Outfitting under her porch with hay. Great. Save the feline community. Her house stinks, and the mailmen and Amazon drivers don't want to go on her front porch, and friends and relatives won't come over. That's where this leads. Either take the cat in, or face the fact that you're starting your own colony. Then inform your neighbors. They might want to move. I'm going to get downvoted for this, but I've seen it with my sister and two of her friends also, that she met in a forum about taking care of feral colonies!!!!!!!!!

OP said above, "It’s actually heated because I don’t want him to get cold, you can see the extension cord on the side! Plus he usually comes inside if it gets really cold."

💗 Thanks for making sure he's warm! I don't know if you're aware so just posting in case you're not - Morris Animal Refuge has a program that spays/neuters community cats like this so you don't end up with 6 mini-Georges (as cute as they would be) come spring:

George is a much better name than my porch cat, Mama Scabies. 🤣🤣

Sweet! We made one of them at our last house which didn’t allow pets. Called it the “cat condo” and at any time there could be any one of 5 different strays in there over winter

I had to euthanize my patio cat, Nate Dogg, yesterday. She had a tumor which burst and she was (clearly) suffering. It was the first time I've ever had to make the decision and the first time I said goodbye to a fur friend. My husband and I are in so much pain. I cried cleaning her bowl off my step this morning. I know I did the right thing, but wow it sucks. I hope she sends along another friend to care for, and to care for us. We gave her food, shelter, and love for about 2 years. Thank you to everyone who cares for these babies, each of them are special.
