Hello,

I did a search and have been looking for solid sources that would assist with determining a good temperature for cats in a communal shelter and also for lighting. More specifically what is too warm? too cold? Should all the lights go out at night? Is there a detriment to cats with having lights on in their area all night long? I've been looking for research and I found some but it was for contained cats, not large communal spaces.

Thanks!
