-electric heating pad, in a small box covered with several insulative layers, set up off the floor and sheltered from the worst of the drafts
-heated water bowl
-a largish section of carpet for his play area, plus carpet squares under food & water bowls, and in front of the south-facing glass door so he doesn't have to sit on the cold concrete to eat or drink or bask in the sun on the rare occasions we get some
-plastic sheeting stapled across the main garage door, and I'm plugging up other draft sources as I find them
-an electric space heater going full blast 24/7, which is kind of a joke in a space that big, but it's another oasis of warmth if he needs it
It actually wasn't terrible in there last night. Cold, sure, there's no way around that, but vastly better than I anticipated. He's doing okay. But we still feel bad, because he's such a sweet cat and deserves better.
