One man from Utah has been protecting stray cats from the cold by recycling old coolers into makeshift shelters.

Philip Rogich first began his labor of love back in November as a means of providing some extra comfort to the feral felines around his home community of Ogden.

"They're living creatures… To me, living creatures deserve to have their basic needs met," Rogich told KSTU in the interview below. "I'm giving them a second chance, one way or another," he said.

Using a 6-inch drill bit, Rogich crafts each "cat cooler" shelter by cutting out a hole in the side of the cooler. Once he lines the holes with strips of pipe insulation foam, he fills the cooler with straw for bedding.

Rogich told WS this week that he managed to place 150 cat coolers around Riverdale and Ogden before he was forced to put his passion project on hold in order to move houses.

Not only that, dozens of social media users have started crafting similar shelters in their own home towns since he posted pictures of his cat coolers to his charity's Facebook page.
