Make sure kitties can get out of shelters. Blizzard conditions/strong winds can blow snow, blocking entrance.
Michigan colony cat caretakers, it’s time to reinforce your shelters. Thursday evening into Friday and Saturday have high winds and freezing temps swooshing in with a vengeance.
It’s not so much the amount of snow, but the dangerous conditions coming with this particular cold weather snap.
Weight down your shelters/feeding stations or you and the cats likely won’t find them where they’re supposed to be. Up to 60 MPH winds in Metro Detroit.
If you’re relying on electricity, it may go out.
If you can bring them temporarily inside (garage/mudroom), doing so before Friday is a good idea.

Always feed about 15% to 20% more in the winter as outdoor animals burn more calories in the cold. Replenishing water since it freezes is important too.
