Winter weather can be especially dangerous for outdoor cats, leaving many vulnerable to frostbite and illness. The Erie Humane Society recently rescued a severely sick and frostbitten cat named Olive, who is now safe and slowly recovering—a reminder of the importance of community care during the cold months.
With shelters at capacity, the organization encourages residents to help outdoor cats by providing simple DIY winter shelters and learning the signs that indicate a cat needs medical attention. These efforts can make a life-saving difference for animals struggling to survive in freezing conditions.
The Erie Humane Society has published a detailed guide on how to support outdoor cats this winter and when to intervene. To read the full guide, visit Erie Humane Society’s blog. Updates on Olive’s recovery will be shared soon.
