Is there such a thing as battery operated heat beds for cats? My ferals would love it!!! Unfortunately, there is no electricity in my garage.

There is not, but there are self-warming pads such as K&H Manufacturing Self-Warming Crate Pad Gray 25-Inch by 37-Inch I tested one out to see if they work by sitting on it for awhile. Yes, it does seem to get warm, but it takes awhile. Hope this helps!

Hi! I own almost every kind of heated pet bed & I have never heard of or seen a battery operated one...sorry. I have to tell you, right before I got your question, we were running electricity to an area outside so we could place heated cat beds for our ferals. Maybe you can run some electricity to your garage? Hope so! Anyway, glad to hear you are taking care of feral kitties!

I am not using it that way,but I saw several reviews by people who apparently were. All you would have to do is make sure the electric wires were properly isolated from water,etc. My cats love the warmth; as they mention,it does take a bit of time to warm up once the cat is on it,so I stitched a fuzzy cat blanket envelope for it so that they would curl up on that and then get the warmth.

Depends on the size of the garage and what you mean by super cold. If the cats have a nice box with a blankee in the bottom. If you leave the heater on to heat the garage and not just turn it on at the last minute. If it's going to be sub-zero. Your best bet would be to get a cat bed heating pad that they sell here on Amazon. Then you won't have to heat the whole garage and they'll be toasty. It'd save electricity too.

I suppose you could put a cat in here, but why would you opt for this kind of set up? There are other, better, cat options. Better yet, just don't let your cat out at night. This is a chicken coop or possibly a rabbit hatch, but not really a cat containment system. I'd do a search for cat runs. Just my opinion.

No, it's good as is. It's already insulated, and the cats will keep each other warm though body heat. The 2 feral cats in front of my condo existed during the last winter with -15 degree weather with the cat barn.

You're in luck! No batteries are required. The ad is a little misleading. Kitties just rub up against different areas depending on where they want attention.

Sure! It is really great because it is only heated when you cat lies on it. Buy it!!!

I'm going into my 3rd winter on 2 of my snuggle safe's..and my second winter with the other 2. I use them every winter for heating feral cats igloos. I use 2 per cat bed/igloo with blankets on very cold days and nights. My cats love them!

None of my cats liked this product. There are other product's Feliway comes in a spray and they have a product that can be plugged into your outlet. Bach, Rescue Remedy. Comes in a spray I believe, but also a liquid that I believe can be put in their water. Also, Lavender! Fill a pouch with lavender, or sprinkle on their beds, etc. :)

Here is an idea; it worked for me. Get your vacuum cleaner and push it up against the door INSIDE the room with you. Plug it into a power strip, so that when you switch the switch, the vacuum turns on. (This keeps you from having to find the switch on the vacuum in the middle of the night when you hear your cat scratching.) As soon as you hear the scratching, flip the switch and let it run for a few seconds. They HATE vacuums. It's in the kitty manifesto as a kitty sucker!

I used them in my boots, did not work or heat to any measure, sent them back.Junk. Give your kitty a 40 or 60 watt light bulb, that's what we used to keep chicks warm.

My cat feeders topped worked after the first couple of months. It also has to be on battery or electric so when the electricity goes out it stops working. I am so disappointed, so we are back to leaving a humongous bowl of food out. We do leave her for up to a wake at a time. Thank heavens my automatics littler box seems to be a Trojan house! Good luck

I use mine outside for feral cats and they love it. I had put some catnip on it in the beginning to attract them which worked immediately. The cat lies directly on the pad which picks up the body heat. As long as the cat lays on it it stays warm. Mine love it and also a blue one that's a bit larger from another manufacturer. It's listed on Amazon as well. It works the same way but it's a little bit bigger and plushier.

I suggest going to this link to learn about using MMS to heat your cat and other animals. https://g2cforum.org/index.php/list/animal-conditions-and-results

I've also used Mylar blankets as wall-paper for wooden outdoor cat shelters and it definitely seems to help keep them warm. You could also use Reflectix insulation in the same way. It's a bit thicker (5/16") and a little harder to manipulate, but I've cut it into sheets and secured it to the interior walls with silver foil tape.

Yes, I put mine in an insulated house and my small feral cat colony is warm all winter. They have never allowed a mouse in my house or a squirrel to steal a tomato :)

I would not get this for your puppies. I felt no heat when I used it. There is only a cord to plug in. No thermostat.
