Re: [Felvtalk] STORM - QUESTIONS/reply
Dot, Your husband sounds like a real kitty lover too!! The shelters he has put together sound great and I hope the kitties weather the storm safely. I have been told that there is a high pressure system out in the Atlantic (near Iceland?) that is preventing Sandy from going out to sea. So I have been sending dissipate prayers to that system so that Sandy can change direction before making landfall this evening!! I'm located in the northwest corner of NJ, so I shouldn't get hit, but losing power is always a concern. Your kitties are in my prayers!!

Dot, Not sure if you're still on, but just saw this: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151219931374449.477932.144611599448type=1 Having been in pre-hurricanes and Nor'easters, I don't know if this would really work. Seems the rocks are a bit small. I've had plastic that I nailed up ripped off my house.

Re: [Felvtalk] STORM - QUESTIONS/reply

Re: [Felvtalk] STORM - QUESTIONS/reply
I live right near the Long Island sound but higher so I'm not in a flood area. Haven't had a colony for a few years but I found those little ferals are remarkably resilient. I never could put up the kind of shelter you and your husband did-wow! It sounds like they have a lot of protection. I've seen ferals come thru 2' of snow, zero degree temps, nor'easters-so with the extra protection you gave them, they have a better than average chance. Good for you and your husband to do this for them..
