Community Cats Maryland Shelter Project
Community Cats Maryland shared this photo of their "Give Me Shelter" event! Look at all those shelters, and all those fantastic volunteers ♥
Building shelters for outdoor cats is a great way to keep them comfy in cooler weather.

Components:
We will only be using the 18 gallon Rubbermaid Roughneck tubs. You can bring your own 18 gallon Rubbermaid tub, or you can get one from us. Please do not bring any other brands or sizes of tubs as we will not have the proper patterns or supplies to use with them.
We will also be using one 8" X 16" concrete Pavestone for each tub, and again, you can get one from us or you can supply your own.
We will also be using reflective insulation that we have already purchased in bulk. The 4 foot width of the roll makes pattern cutting a breeze. We no longer need to use any Gorilla Tape to hold components together. So there is no need to purchase any reflective foil insulation and no need to purchase any type of tape.
We will be using Owens Corning Foamular F 250 3/4 X 24 inch X 8 foot Tongue and Groove Foam. One sheet supplies enough foam insulation for one tub with leftover material. Two sheets supply enough foam insulation for 3 tubs. The sheets may be cut down from 24 in X 8 ft sheets to 24 in X 4 foot sheets for transport in a small car.
We will be using Loctite PL300 Foamboard VOC Adhesive to "glue" the sheets together. One tube supplies enough adhesive for 4 shelters depending on how thickly it is applied.
