Heating for cat in Kennel

Dazzy

Looking for advice about how best to provide some heat to an outdoor kennel that a cat is sleeping in? Heat Lamps and Heat Mats seem to be recommended. Anyone have any advice? Obviously need to be safe and ideally energy efficient.

The safest method is to just use snugglesafes. You pop them in the microwave for a few minutes and they stay warm for up to 8 hours. The best solution though is to let the cat in the house unless it’s a feral.

Thanks. He's feral, many attempts to try and tame/bring into the house but unsuccessful.

I have 3 ex-ferals - all currently draped around the stove. One new-ish feral that lives in the "cat mansion" outside the back door. I cant get her indoors - shes intimidated by the resident cats. Dont know if we will succeed with this one. We got this fabulous custom built house for her Lovely cosy bed inside, with a 'flap' for her access. I was horrified to find that her overnight snack was actually frozen overnight :eek: Im off to buy some sort of heat pads tomorrow - snugglesafes are hopefully in Maxizoo?
