If you care for outdoor cats in your community, please remember cats should never be taken to animal pounds or shelters, even in extreme cold. In animal pounds and shelters nationwide, seven out of every 10 cats are killed rather than adopted outand for unadoptable feral cats, that number is virtually 100 percent.
Feral cats are accustomed to life outdoors, and will instinctively seek warmth and shelter until the extreme cold passes. If you are concerned about cats in cold weather you can help using our winter weather care tips.
