However, a drop in temperature may make your furry friend need extra warmth, more food for energy, and a dry living environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts and veterinarians agree that a drop to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7909512\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">zero degrees Celsius (32 F)<\/a> is too low for a cat to survive. Such temperatures below freezing point expose your furry friend to frostbite and hypothermia. And without access to suitable shelter, it may even lead to death.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, when temperatures outside drop to 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit), keep your cat safe by confining it indoors and providing warmth and other ideal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b8c5c5\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b8c5c5;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-27-jpg.webp\" alt=\"A cat in the snow\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-1435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-27-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-27-300x207.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-27-768x529.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08A cat in the snow\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-can-cats-survive-in-cold-weather\">How Long Can Cats Survive In Cold Weather?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The length of time that cats can survive in the cold is subject to several conditions, including;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The outdoor temperatures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cat\u2019s ability to adapt to cold weather<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Level of exposure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cat\u2019s age (younger cats can withstand colder temperatures than elderly cats)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amount of food or energy available to burn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much fur does the cat have<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How fast can the cat access treatment after the rescue&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hypothermia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hypothermia<\/a> leads to loss of consciousness in cats and may freeze them to death.

See, indoor cats have less resilience to beat harsh outdoor conditions because they\u2019re used to the friendlier indoor environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they also adapt to weather changes more quickly than most animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7b7d7d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7b7d7d;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-29-jpg.webp\" alt=\"an indoor cat\u2019s comfortable environment\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-1432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-29-jpg.webp 999w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-29-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-29-768x513.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(an indoor cat\u2019s comfortable environment)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-help-stray-cats-survive-cold-weather-in-winter\">How to Help Stray Cats Survive Cold Weather in Winter?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"set-up-shelter\">Set Up Shelter<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Feral cats often shy away from using a car shelter you create. Therefore, try placing such shelters away from your home but not too far, so you can easily check on the cats. Also, make the shelters small to prevent rapid heat dispersion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6a6a67\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6a6a67;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"989\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-20-jpg.webp\" alt=\"stray cats\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-1431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-20-jpg.webp 989w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-20-297x300.webp 297w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-20-768x777.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 989px) 100vw, 989px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> (stray cats)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-a-selfheating-pad\">Use a Self-Heating Pad<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Several heating pads are available to keep feral cats warm in outdoor shelters. A self-heating pad helps to provide the cat with sufficient warmth to prevent it from freezing. Also, a self-heating pad keeps the cat warm even when you haven\u2019t checked on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the pads are least prone to electrical hitches.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ensure-food-is-plentiful\">Ensure Food is Plentiful<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Supply the cats with sufficient food to meet their high energy demands in the cold weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e9ded4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e9ded4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-19-jpg.webp\" alt=\"food in plenty\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-1429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-19-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-19-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-19-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(food in plenty)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"location-is-key\">Location is Key<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The cat\u2019s shelter should be accessible and safe. Remember, stray cats have had minimal or no contact with humans. Therefore, set up their shelters in areas that people rarely visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wellmaintained-feeding-station\">Well-Maintained Feeding Station<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Feeding stations offer an excellent avenue to feed feral cats in winter. Also, you can build an insulated station resembling a cat shelter. Just ensure that you check the feeding station regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-not-use-antifreeze\">Do Not Use Antifreeze<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Refrain from using and storing <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antifreeze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">antifreeze<\/a>, including salt, in areas accessible to the cats. These chemicals may turn catastrophic if the cat licks them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, most pet stores offer animal-friendly deicer that you can use to melt snow. Also, you can apply gravel or sand to provide traction. Other alternatives to using antifreeze include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Using an Ice scraper&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking the car in the garage or covering it at night&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Defrosting the ice using your car\u2019s engine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do Cats Catch Colds Easily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, cats don\u2019t catch colds easily. That\u2019s because a healthy cat easily adapts to the cold. However, if a cat is not well-cared for, perhaps lacking proper shelter and nutrition, exposure to cold weather can weaken the cat\u2019s immunity, making them susceptible to catching a cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b89979\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b89979;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-16-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Sick cat\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-1428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-16-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-16-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-16-768x576.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Sick cat)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>So, can a cat survive the cold? Although indoor cats don\u2019t fare as well as feral cats, they too can adapt, in fact, better than other animals. Still, you must keep them safe and take necessary precautions to ensure the temperature does not exceed the minimum threshold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the information in this article to keep your furry friend or feral cats safe from cold weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you love cats or animals, you might wonder, &#8220;Can a cat survive the cold?&#8221; How would the animal fare?
