Another Feral Shelter

1. Get free Styrofoam packing cases from your favorite restaurant or store.
2. Line the entire inside and inside cover with contact paper (the cats are likely to scratch the bare Styrofoam "walls")
3. Saw an entrance hole at one end
4. Cover the edges of the hole with duct tape
5. Seal the cover back on, using silicone sealant (and a caulking gun)
6. Flip "upside down" so that the bottom of the case becomes the "roof"
7. If desired, paint the outside of the shelter
8. Pack hay or straw inside so that the cat can "burrow" in the insulating hay
