From a Minnesota post on Facebook:
My parents recently noticed four stray cats showing up in their garden. They were thin, cautious, and always together — like a little family trying to survive the Minnesota winter. ❄️
My dad couldn’t stand seeing them out in the cold, so he decided to build something special — a tiny cat “condo” tucked right by the trees. It’s insulated, lined with straw, and fitted with gentle heat lamps to keep them warm through the freezing nights. Inside are cozy blankets and little shelves where they can curl up safely.
He even built a small raised platform to hold food and water — high enough to keep raccoons and other animals from getting to it. And, because he couldn’t help himself, he added a birdhouse nearby “for entertainment,” as he put it.
Now, every night, you can see the glow of the warm shelter from the window — and inside, four content cats curled up together, finally safe. ❤️
It’s amazing what a bit of compassion can do. Sometimes love doesn’t need words — just a little shelter, a warm light, and a heart that cares.
