Feral Cat Feeders

As most of you know a few years ago I was fortunate enough to have the Company I work for buy into my feral cat program. As long as I can remember there have been cats on the property and they would call a pest control to trap and remove them. After educating them on the benefits of TNR I am now the official “cat person” here.

I set-up a few feeding stations and one just recently started having problems with all the birds devouring the food. I needed to come up with something quick before we had bird complaints and the expense of purchasing extra needed food.

A fellow co-worker came up with this idea and thought I’d share it with those of you that are feral caretakers. The food is inside (of course) and the doors are made of light-weight aluminum.

So, the cats make it in through the hole?? CLEVER!!!

I would love that by my front porch so the Ctas can eat in peace and quiet, They love the Jenn Librarian Shelter I am always emptying the dishes from that wonderful shelter.
I know Pouncer Roccalno uses that and Pouncer Karina sticks to the front yard.She loves the fact that she gets the dish all to herself now.
I hear Elly Mae Christine is doing great at Janices house and even has a Little Tabby Boy Friend.

Yes and there's still enough area left for them to stand and eat.

So it's like pet doors, they swing? how long did it take for the cats to get the hang of it? GREAT idea!

Actually it swings easier than the pet doors. It's made from very light aluminum since the heat here tends to make plastic and rubber brittle very quickly. It didn't take long at all since they get hungry and this is their only source of food. It didn't take the birds long to realize they couldn't get to the food either! :)

Pretty neat idea, must pass it on to some friends who feed feral cats also.

WOW!!


What a great idea! Maybe who ever built that for you could build some more for the park cats.....or sell them to other feral cat feeders!

Great idea!!

:D :D :D

Where there's a will, there's a way and obviously, your will found the way! Good job!

Moosmom seems very enthusiastic, so it must be a great idea! :p
