Ppl can put out styrofoam coolers with blankets in them. Face the opening away from the wind.

Straw is warmer/more insulating than blankets. But yes!

straw over blankets!!! or shredded newspaper, cardboard, etc. if you really can't get any straw. blankets are pretty dangerous because they freeze if they get damp, and then can end up killing animals from hypothermia!

also if people are feeling really welcoming, a bathroom is an ideal cat quarantine zone for a stray who needs a warm place to stay.

I get it. Every sad animal that looks my way i do something for, and ppl are assholes. And if you have something, hell, even a box, put it out. Ya never know what prowls around at night!
