In Minnesota, there’s a livestream of a cat condo for feral felines:

Sam Stroozas reports:
Everything started in the dead of this winter when Jill [VanDette] started catching glimpses of a thin, feral cat in her yard. The cat was scared and would rarely come up close to the house.
The family had cats before, so they knew to give her time and, soon enough, she was coming closer to the house with her three kittens. The Mohn family strategized — it would only get colder, and they knew they had to protect the cats. They tried to lure the cats inside, but they refused. So Kevin got to work and created what he has coined the “cat condo.”
He used an old dog house and refurbished it into a heated two-story home for the cats.
….
There is a heat lamp, insulation, food, water, blankets and even some art hung up for the cats to enjoy. Kevin says he finds himself waking up in the middle of the night to check on the cats outside his window.
“You see a paw or somebody stretching or licking each other, the temperature says it is 75 and it is zero or above outside, it was kind of an unexpected feel-good situation. It took me by surprise how pleasurable it was to see them comfortable and safe,” he said.
