Cat feeder

    I'm looking for an outdoor feeder for some cats we have in work. I've seen feral feed stations before when we were abroad, but I can't seem to find anything like that, that can be bought online, in Ireland. I've tried pet shops, but not having any luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Before anyone thinks I'm being irresponsible, I've had them all neutered by our local SPCA, who offer a catch & release service :)

    Some here and here, are they the type of things you meant?

    Personally I think it is better to feed them yourself. It means no leftover food to attract vermin/birds, and makes it easier to spot when a cat is off their food ie could be sick.

    Thank you Magenta, I'm looking for something that gives some shelter to the food from the rain. Something like this http://www.catster.com/files/600px-hawaii-feeding-station.jpg

    OP what your are looking for looks like an oversized bird feeder to me so doesn't look too complicated.

    So if I were you I would pop into my local Mans Shed and show them what you are looking for and they might build you one reasonable enough. That way you can get it made to your own design.

    I know our local Mans Shed built some kennels for a rescue near us.

    So it's a kennel without any walls? Or a mini pergola? It's pretty cute actually.

    I would just buy them a kennel. They might prefer to eat in privacy. You can get ones that the roof lifts off.

    Thanks a mill Inexile, I don't think there is such a thing as a Mans Shed near us, but I might ask a local carpenter if they could do something for us.

    Thank you Teyla, I have a kennel for them for shelter/additional place to sleep (as they have beds under our office, which is raised off the ground), but they don't seem too keen on it!

    Thanks again, appreciate the help :)
