Winter Storm Prep

​We're finally getting snow and supposedly, lots of it, along with some strong winds later today. So this week we have been doing our best to prep the sanctuary to provide warm shelter for our residents who prefer to stay outside.

Some of our inside residents don't know why the others refuse to come in because whenever they go outside, it only takes a minute before they're sitting at the door wanting to come back in! (or in the cases of some residents, they flat out aren't even interested! We're sure some of you can relate! )

So in these photos you'll see a few of our inside residents, some of our outside residents, and the current situation at the sanctuary. Tarps, shelters, and lots of straw. Water, food and litter is available inside the heated buildings. Several waters that are outside in the cold have small heaters in them to prevent the water from freezing over since some residents prefer not to enter buildings at all.

Our favorite shelters by The Kitty Tube and others are spread throughout the space (mainly around the buildings to reduce the impact of wind) in case any cat prefers their own little condo to hunker down. Tarps were attached to help block the wind and to prevent snow from piling into sheltered areas so that the cats can stay as warm as possible.

Thank you to our volunteers and board members who helped get the sanctuary ready for the weather! We know our residents will appreciate the extra protection. We hope everyone stays safe and warm this weekend!
