We took in a feral momma cat who kept having kittens. We had to trap her to get her spayed and immunized. For the first 2-3 yrs, we couldn’t touch her, so we built a huge catio in our backyard for her. She has a cat tree, cat cot, patio chair, toys and one of these Heated Kitty House. We put it inside an old igloo dog house to protect it from rain. She loves her house and even in zero degree snowy weather, she is toasty warm. I know, because I’ve gone out at midnight and layed in the snow so I could feel that with my hand that she is warm! This has been worth every penny! And now we can pet her once in awhile.
