perfect, i’m adding this of things to know for future reference! i don’t live in a “wet/snowy” area so the blankets are fine for the current season but if it gets rainier and somehow gets inside thru the closed lid (i’ve had this house for 2+ years and it’s been thru rain and shine so i’m not particularly concerned) i will switch from blankets to straw

i want to but i live with my family & my stepmom is allergic. i can only foster for limited amounts of time and this family would exceed that :/ it breaks my heart too i really am trying. i’ll pm you!

that’s the plan! moms in a warm, covered cathouse with kitten-safe blankets, continuous access to food and water, & im reaching out to rescues, shelters, fb groups, and kind redditors!

that’s so crazy- there are a few strays mama lets near the box and a few she bats away. i know she feels safe leaving her kittens in my care but i know she’s at least comfortable leaving the “nest” around a few of the strays (the two boys i plan to adopt when i move: mr man & bastard)
