Good luck everyone!

I'm changing the strays water every couple of hours. Theres shady spots where they live. I've put ice in the bowls to help hopefully.

Am also freezing some water bottles for them to lay next to if required

I just topped off my strays water and food. Used the last sachets of food, went and got some more from Savemore, went back to drop them off and it'd been eaten. Caught a glimpse of the cat. Savemore also had 3/$5 Linda McCartney vege snags which is a fuckin bargain.

Nice work man!

I put out the dry food and it's been gobbled up real quick.

I bought a bag of ice and put it in a shady spot near where my live. Hopefully they see it and figure out the ground will be cool near it.
