Now that winter is here, and temperatures are dropping, your cat will need more than just a fur coat to stay warm through the coldest season. After more than 45 years of experience providing pet boarding and grooming services to Highland Heights, Kentucky, Robinwood Kennel knows a thing or two about caring for your four-legged friends.

To prepare your outdoor cats for the upcoming winter, take advantage of these tips:

  • Food: It’s important to feed outdoor cats daily, and to ensure they’re grub isn’t far from their place of shelter. The containers you put the food and water in can also make a big difference. A thick plastic container that is well-insulated will prevent your cat’s meals from freezing in the chilly temperatures.
  • Pet boardingShelter: Keeping your outside cat warm in the winter is only possible if there's a safe and dry place for them to sleep. The shelter must only be big enough for the cat so it can trap body heat and warm the interior. If it’s too large, your cat’s inherent warmth will quickly escape.
  • Oil-Filled Radiators: Another way to keep your cat warm in its outdoor shelter is to position an enclosed oil-filled radiator nearby. You can set these appliances to turn on and off when a set temperature is reached, as well as dictate the amount of heat it generates. Since these radiators are fully enclosed, you don’t have to worry about them being a fire hazard, and your furry friend will appreciate the extra warmth—as well as the ability to sleep soundly without going inside!
