So I know a lot of places the wind chill for the nex 2-3 days will be in the negative temperatures, and when it's that cold both humans and animals can get frostbite within minutes, so I'm just posting a few little tips to help the wild animals in your community :)

First tip would be to try making a little shelter or if you have closed in cages put a nice warm blanket in them and put them out so the animals can get out of the wind.

( what I did was get some old cardboard boxes, put some old towels and blankets in and cut a little hole so the animals can get in and out, I also put a little bit of kitty food in the corner and placed the boxes in areas that are sheltered from the wind )


Second tip- if you have any dog/cat/bird or any type of animal food that you can spare a bit of, put it out for the local strays! With food in their stomachs it will help them through this cold spell.

Third tip, if you have a empty barn or shed or anything they can get out of the wind with and can possibly get the animals in them, offer them the shelter for a few days until these temperatures rise again :)

Doing some of these things will help the animals during these cold temps and make the animal very happy :)

Stay warm everyone and good luck with the cold.
