You can also get two plastic totes, one larger than the other. Add a
layer of straw in between the two, packed tightlyu, and then cut a hole
in one end just big enough for the cat to get through, add more straw
as bedding and lid the inner tote, add more straw then snap the outer
lid in place. Place the "cat house/shelter" in a secluded spot with
the opening away from wind and preferable facing some sort of out
building. You can set a couple of concrete blocks on top to weight it
down. I'd also be selective to place it where it will be shaded during
the heat of the day.

To be a little inventive when cutting the "door" do not cut completely
though the outer tote and you can bend it upwards as a "roof" to help
keep rain out..

I made a similar "cat house" for a feral cat and also put his food
inside to keep others from getting it. It did not appear that he used
it for sleeping at first, but when I would open it to check the
bedding, etc, it was quite evident that the cat was sleeping in it.

Just a thought. Then you can use the remaining money to rent a trap
and have the cat fixed.

I promise to post a picture of Whitey as soon as I can get her out of
her carrier long enough :-)

I wnet to your link hoping to see pictures of "Snowy", but saw,
instead, images of a tabby, much like my senior cat 'Baby'. I even
checked all the other phots of the other cats.. Has me scratching my
head!

Hemma, my 9 year old daughter picked the name Snowy...I tried and tried
to convince it that it was a name usually reserved for a kitty with a
majority of white fur, but she stood firm.

Okay! Now it makes sense! Well, 'Snowy' looks very much like my
senior female feline, 'Baby" - again, daughter named her, not me. But
my daughter was 20+ years old at the time! Don't see any Bengal going
on in your Snowy or my Baby, perhaps a touch of Maine Coon Cat, which
do have the stripe down the back as well as the tufted foot pads.

Snowy is a lovely kitty and looks to have a very sweet disposition.
Your lucky she chose you as her people!

Your "blue" (gray) kitty does look like he has/is a marbled blue Bengal
and l;ooks a lot like my purebred Blue Spotted Bengal, especially in
the face. Your boy has a very Bengal head and ears as well. He's
quiite handsome.

Sure, just google the group <alt.binaries.pictures.animals> and search
for Whitey.

It's a great group for pictures of animals of all kinds.
