- Is this your kitty??
I noticed this sweet girl in my neighborhood a week ago and started feeding her. She is not matted, nor ear tipped, so I assume she is someone's pet… (Nextdoor Lakeside Berkeley Manor) - It’s going to be 19° tonight, if you have the ability to bring in any of your feral cats or if you have pets, make sure they are inside, cats can get frostbite, they can get seriously injured from the cold.
It’s going to be cold for the next few days. It’s already below freezing right now. (Nextdoor Howell Wood)
