TRAP/CAGE COVERS (No sewing involved!)
Cut fabric into a 28" by 46" rectangle so it fully covers the trap. New or reused is fine, and any pattern on the fabric works, too. Some of the bolder ones can often be found on significant sale.

In winter months we only need FLEECE material. In summer months we use lightweight cotton.

Leftover fleece fabric can be made into "cage cozies" (only fleece, not cotton). Simply cut the fleece into approximately 12" by 6" rectangles. They'll be put in traps with cats following surgery to keep them warm.

NEWSPAPERS
Save your newspapers and fold them to make trap liners. You can find the instructions to fold newspaper trap liners here. Please ask your friends and neighbors to save their papers and pick them up when it is safe to do so. And, if you have a large enough cardboard box, it can be folded to make a purrfect storage box for the newspapers.

SHELTERS
Feral cat shelters are distributed to caregivers feeding feral cats. The shelters help keep the cats warm and dry.

Here are instructions for building shelters.

Thank you!
