They can get cold but they are also very good at finding warm places to hide!...;

Make a cat shelter for her, I do that for my local strays in the winter. I take a large cardboard box and make a square entrance on one side, quite high up from the floor so snow doesnt fall in. Then I take a very large plastic garbage bag and place it over the box, and I wrap the edges of the bag inside of the opening of the box and I staple the bag edges down in place, so that they entire outside of the box is sealed with the plastic. Then I pop in some newspapers and towels to help insulate the bottom from the cold. Voila, cat shelter ready. I put the boxes in places that look safe, meaning not alot of people or dogs go by, and also so the place get less snow fall, like under a tree or roof. Check the box every few days to make sure it hasn't gotten moist and collapsed.

Yes, cats get cold. If the cats you've adopted aren't allowed inside, make sure that they've got shelter outside. A small doghouse or access to your garage should be good, somewhere that will protect them from the wind and keep them dry. For extra warmth, you could put some warm fuzzy blankets in their shelter. And if you live somewhere that gets REALLY cold, make sure that their water doesn't freeze!

well you should put a cat or even a dog bed with warm blankets outside under something so that if it rains it wont be soaked. also if you really wanna take these cats in and care for them i would suggest bringing them into getting checked out and getting shots so you can have them indoors or even bringing them to an animal shelter

Yes cats get cold...give them an old blanket to lay on...cats love things that are soft...and that will keep them warm and help them sleep at night..

Yes they do get cold. You can put a blanket out there for a bed to keep warm. You can house train them too.

Cats do better with shelter. I have two barn cats and have warm blankets and pillows for them. Last month it got cold suddenly and I bought a pet heating pad. They love it, especially the mom cat who is pretty old. She is putting on weight again now that all her calories aren't burned for heat to keep warm.
Make sure to feed them plenty if it's especially cold or wet or windy.

cats absolutly get cold. consider getting a dog house...for your cats! put old towels or straw inside with a little cat nip to coax them in! It should be a weather durable, wind proof, not too big but not too small structure. and, check on it often to make sure the local wild life hasn't taken advantage!

I hope they will have some veterinary treatment - shots and testing for diseases that they could be suffering from. Of course spaying and neutering is essential too.
Some sort of shelter is necessary. If you can afford it those dogloos would be good. Straw or hay, even in a box on the porch, out of the wind and rain, is an excellent insulator from the cold of the ground and then you can put soft blankets, towels or stuff on top of the straw.
