The above pretty much compliles all of the affordable ways to make or buy cat shelters. I've heard feral villa is very good. And btw - if you are making your own, your SPCA should have straw for free and your home depot/ lowes will probably give you hard foam insulation for free if it's damanged and most of the stock people will find you one. They also may sponsor it - you have to write a proposal to the manager and give them a week or two to respond. Ask at the desk. Also, don't get a clear bin, they are hard to cut, they crack - others are easier. Find one that's easy to cut. It may take a little experimenting. :) Hope that helps!
