Review: Feral Cat Shelter Approved! PURRFECT! - This worked out just perfect for our feral cat shelters. We were able to double insulate 3 shelters with some insulation left over using just one roll. -We used 1 Rubbermaid tote for each shelter (used to have to use 2 totes lined with styrofoam, one inside of the other before using the foil insulate). *DIY Instructions: -Cut 1 hole out of the front of the tote for an entrance and one out of the side-towards the rear (for an escape should anyone try to enter and a cat need to quickly exit). -Make sure the circular cut out for the doors can swing through like doggie-doors (circular, not square, as it is ideal for a cat's shape and not as inviting to other predators), then adhere them using gray/dark duct tape to the inside and outside of the tote so they can swing open and closed (the hole should be slightly larger than the cut-out) **silver electrical tape is fine for the inside, but it will reflect any light and draw attention to the shelter, so be sure to use a dark, sturdy tape for the outside of the tote** -Then start to insulate! This Reflictix insulation is thick, but is lined with bubble pockets, so it is a dream to cut! -First, flip the tote over and cut a piece that is almost as big as the outside bottom of the tote. Then, cut 2 more piece slightly smaller than that piece. These will be the floor of the shelter (I like to add one more layer for some extra protection and cushion, but 2 will do...you never know when/if a mama cat is going to have kittens in there). Now set those aside. -Next, stand the whole roll of insulation up inside the tote, press it firmly to the 4 sides to see how much you need for your first wall/layer of insulation. Then using your finger press down and make a crease/line where you want to cut (its so easy to use you can actually make your measurement marks with your finger because of the bubbles). -Take the roll out of the tote and using a box cutter (or scissors), cut it to length. -Line the inside bottom of the box with double-sided tape or super glue. I reccomend the tape because its forgiving if you need to maneuver the insulation. Put the larger of the 3 bottom pieces down and firmly press it into place. Set the other 2 bottom pieces aside. -Next, line the rest of the inside 4 walls with the double-sided tape or glue (skipping the area where the doors are). -Roll the insulation up that you measured for the walls, stand it straight up and center it in the tote. - Starting from the front corners carefully and tightly press the insulation against the walls of the tote. Press it firmly, all the way around until you get to the end (if it overlaps or is a little short, that's okay, you're going to be making another layer anyways). -You'll notice that the doors have been covered...lay the tote on its side(s) and then with a kitchen knife, carefully cut around each hole until the opening is once again visible. Any loose pieces can be taped down around the hole of the door opening or simply torn off. -Save those circular cut outs and tape them to the back of the doors for extra insulation. -Now take the large roll of left over insulation and again measure how much you'll need for the inside. This time, measuring in 2 sections. You'll measure from one side of one door to one side of the other and cut out that piece. Then you'll measure from the other side of the door to the other side of the other door, then cut. -Now, if you have hot glue (or super glue) this works best here). You're going to glue the insulation pieces down firmly, leaving spaces where the doors are without extra insulation for the moment. -Any extra insulation than is sticking over at the top of the tote that would cause the lid not to close, you can either fold and glue over or cut around the tote until it is level (we fold and glue). -Next go ahead and glue the 2 bottom pieces of insulation down. -Now, Cut a couple square pieces out to cover the spots above and below the doors that did not get covered with the 2nd layer of insulation-it doesn't need to be perfect. -Finally, close the tote, making sure your lid fits on tightly and ensure that the doors swing through. -Now your shelter us complete! -Set the shelter up on wood planks/2x4's-flat or stone/cement pavers and cover the top with something that will allow the rain to run off (sheet of plywood, old rubber floormat, etc) to keep it as dry as possible, and fill the inside with straw (not hay). If possible, hide the shelter behind some bushes where it is accessible, yet not easily visible to other wildlife. Check it regularly and change out the filler (straw). This shelter will not only keep the ferals safe for this season but is very sturdy and should last for many seasons to come. Good luck and thank you to all who are able to help repay these community cats that do more for us than so many understand. Our pockets are often empty, but our hearts are always full. Adopt don't shop! Rescue until there's no longer a need!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the R- value?**
A: The R value varies per application. The more air space there is results in higher efficiency, so, if used in a typical installation such as stapled to rafters or across joists where there is at least several inches of air space it will have a much higher r-value than if it's mounted directly to a surface, for example, as a wrap for ductwork.  The product description states: "Has R 16.8 value for crawl space applications and R 6.13 value for basement walls." Those are much higher r-values than I've seen before through testing (more than double), though may represent the max value that can be achieved if installed with a very large air space for those type of applications.

**Q: How can I use this for a feral cat winter box shelter?  This poor terrified cat survived last horrid winter but I have to better this year.  Can I put this on the outside of a sturdy box & still wrap the box with a garbage bag to protect it from water?  Will it work? I will put blankets inside.  Oh I hope I have come a…**
A: Feral cats are wild, and cannot be socialized.  You are doing a great thing by supplying an insulated box for the feral cat in your area.  We built a box using this insulation.  We bought an 18 gallon plastic tote for under $7 and the next smaller size for $4.50 from that big box store.  We wrapped this bubble insulation around the smaller tote, put it inside the larger tote, added a polyester fleece blanket in the bottom ($2.88), covered the top with more bubble insulation, then put the plastic lids on.  We cut a 6" diameter hole in the side of the two totes for the cat to use as an entrance (and put duct tape around the hole to hold the two boxes and insulation together, and we duct taped a flap over the entrance.  Make sure it's up off the ground so snow and rain doesn't leak inside. Closed cell foam would work better for insulation, but it's very expensive.Note:  The polyester fleece blanket is perfect because it won't absorb water and stays warm even when wet.

**Q: I installed it in my dog kennels. I stapled it in several places for securing it, not only the edges. Did I ruined it or not going to be as effective?**
A: the staples shouldn't bother it at all as long as it didn't rip or tear

**Q: Can I place this behind a radiator to reflect the heat into the room? It might get up to 120 or 130 degrees back there.**
A: yes
