Outdoor Feral Cat Feeding Station, Shelter for Food & Water, Critter-Proof Design Safe Haven, 24.5"x24.5x61"

I already suggested this product to my mom who is buying one as well. I think this will work perfectly. My feral cat took to it easily and my outdoor camera shows the ease the cat accesses the feeding station and how the raccoons try so hard but can't get up there. I made 2 changes. 1) I fastened the base down with a couple steel brackets I drilled into my deck. The item is pretty sturdy on it's own, but I wanted to really eliminate any potential for wiggling or wind action. The item DOES come with items to fasten it to concrete or to the soil on the ground and I probably could have used the items for fastening to concrete and used for my wooden deck but I forgot about them and just went to Ace Hardware and used this instead. 2) We have a lot of coyotes and my feral is always looking all over for safety, but with the camouflage insulation on the sides, my fear was it'd constantly feel insecure not being able to see it's surroundings, so instead I purchased 20 guage yacht vinyl and cut it to shape and used double sided tape so it's going to have thickness to assist with winds/rain/snow but enable full visuals 360 degrees. If it is still super cold during winter, I can always add the camo cover, but for now going to try this. Lastly, I drilled a couple holes in the bottom so I can run some chords through it and put a heated food bowl set and a heated outdoor all weather heating pad... So it will also be a nice respite in the harsh midwest winters. If anything, I think it'd be nice if some pre-drilled holes were added (or at least started, like a 'punch out' in case customers wanted to do the same. But so far it's working great. We will see how it handles the weather changes. So far though it's been a Godsend because the raccoons cannot get up there so I can keep food out overnight for the ferals that come at night. I usually have to bring food in overnight cuz the critters get to it. Great product though. So far so good! I would buy this again!

This feeding station works perfectly...providing the cat a safe and dry place to eat while keeping the raccoons and possums out. Good quality, sturdy and easy to clean. Our initial mistake was placing it too close to our screened pool enclosure. This gave the raccoons a way to climb up the screen and move right into the opening. That joy only lasted one night! We moved it over a few feet and no more raccoons partying on our kitty's food. So far it is perfect.
