I am always look for ways to better shelter the feral cats in our neighborhood without it taking over the backyard. There are kittens out there now and I have a plastic storage bin with a hole poorly cut in it and old newspapers lining it. I've seen the kittens use it in a pinch, but I haven't perfected how to really keep them warm and dry. It looks like, according to this website, that straw is the way to go.
Now you will see how much of a city girl when I ask: Where does one buy straw? Never seen it! Home Depot? There's one nearby... I will check it out.
In the mean time, if you have stray or feral cats nearby, you might want to check out this organization and their advice on caring for feral cat colonies.
Alley Cat Allies - Feral Cat Shelters
Spay and Stay - Cat Shelter
Looks like along with my yet unfinished window boxes (I know, I KNOW) I have more work to do!
