By cutting the signs into smaller pieces, Broodry can create a variety of structures that can be used as cat shelters, scratching posts, and even planters.
Upcycling Old Signs into Feline Friendships
In a world where waste management and sustainability are increasingly important, one creative individual from Pocatello, Idaho, has found a unique way to give new life to discarded signs. Meet Broodry, a retired engineer who has turned his passion for upcycling into a mission to provide warm shelters for stray cats.
The Problem of Discarded Signs
Discarded signs are a common sight in many communities, often ending up in landfills or being discarded in the wild. However, these signs are made from corrugated plastic, which is not widely accepted at recycling centers. This makes it difficult for individuals to recycle these signs, leaving them to contribute to the growing problem of waste.
Broodry’s Innovative Solution
Broodry, a retired engineer, has developed a creative solution to upcycle these discarded signs into functional and cozy cat shelters. Cat Shelters: Broodry’s upcycled signs can be used to create warm and cozy shelters for stray cats. The corrugated plastic material provides excellent insulation, keeping the cats warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
You will need 3-4 of these signs to create the frame of the cat shelter.

Designing the Shelter
To build a cat shelter with Broodry, start by designing the shelter. The shelter should be at least 4 feet wide, 4 feet deep, and 2 feet tall. The frame of the shelter should be made of 2×2 wood, with 3-4 fluted polypropylene political signs serving as the roof.
The Purrfect Solution for a Cause
In a world where social media platforms are flooded with pleas for help and awareness campaigns, it’s easy to get lost in the noise.
