When I was caring for a feral colony, I got a bunch of the styrofoam coolers
that steaks were shipped in, cut a small hole in one side, anchored the top,
and put them out for shelters in the winter. The cats used them and they
lasted a long time.

Those would make nice outdoor shelters...weighted of course.

Styrofoam? Harley and Dee would make hash out of them in no time. If

I use large Styrofoam containers to ship chemo to hospitals - a friend
is an
oncology nurse practitioner and saves them for us. They're larger than
Styrofoam coolers, sturdier, and already insulated.

Totes are wonderful. I leave the top off and the boys are young
enough to jump in the 18 gallon totes and the lower larger ones are
wonderful too. I figured this out when I had a wonderful boy who,
late in life, had issues getting positioned. Besides the totes are a
lot cheaper and more appropriately sized. FYI: They make great
outdoor shelters too.

I tried to respond earlier but it bounced back as "too large"
however, I noticed that others have responded with no problems so I
will try again (after deleting most of the original emails). I have
used Feline Pine at home before and the rescue group I am with used
to use it at their Petsmart adoptions. The smell (to me) was gawd
awful after they had used the box even once and even customers
complained about the smell in the adoption center. We had to go
back to scoopable in both places but especially at the store because
people would not go in to meet the cats due to the smell and it was
scooped on a regular basis.
For our house, we have switched from hooded boxes to large
Rubbermaid Totes. Frank cuts a large hole in one end so the cats
can get in and out and it prevents our elevator b*tt peers from
peeing over the side. We also use a low dust litter. So far, our
cats have done well and most of our cats are 12 and up.

Oh - I just found a Petco version of the wheat litter, Sweat Scoop.
It got
good online reviews.

used it
before?
