Neighborhood Cats Winter Shelter Sale

If you're looking for winter shelter for feral cats, Neighborhood Cats is having a shelter sale and straw giveaway in October.

The shelters offered in the outer-boroughs are pre-fab fish boxes (recycled Styrofoam) covered with thick plastic liners measuring 34" L x 18" W x 18" H, viewable at www.wintercatshelter.com.

The Manhattan shelters are the Neighborhood Cats model, made of gray-painted Styrofoam and measuring 24" L x 24" W x 16" H.

Both types come stuffed with straw and will accommodate two to three cats.

All shelters are $10 each -- in cash or check made out to Neighborhood Cats at time of pick-up.

Only 50 shelters are available for each borough, so first come, first served, two shelters to a caretaker.

All shelters, other than Neighborhood Cats shelters, will be available only at the following dates and times:

• Staten Island: Saturday, October 13 - 11AM - 4PM;
