Building a shelter is easier than you think. Here is how it is done.

The Morrison shelter was created by John Baker and named after the Minister of Home Security, Herbert Morrison. The shelters came in home assembly kits and were 6 ft 6 in (2 m) long, 4 ft (1.2 m) wide and 2 ft 6 in (0.75 m) high and had a solid 1/8 in (3 mm) steel plate “table” top with wire mesh sides and a metal floor. 500,000 shelters were distributed by the end of 1941 and were given free to households with a combined income of less than $640(£400) per year in preparation for the expected German V-1 “Doodlebug” bomb attacks.

Rescued shelter dogs who were given a second chance.

This ingenious hybrid of hammock and tent created by a British company may be a versatile camping shelter, not affected by the unfavorable ground conditions.

Lynea Lattanzio runs a unique cat shelter in her very own 12 acre Parlier, California home. For 19 years she has been housing, feeding and tending to a growing number of feline friends, at a current cost of $5,700 a day and $40,000 a week! She receives donations and volunteer help to keep the “Cat House” thriving.

This is a collection of cats found on the streets, in kennels where they were waiting to be euthanized, vivariums and shelters. Love and patience can make real miracles, turning a street cat into a beautiful, happy and true pet friend.

Caboodle Ranch is a 100-acre cat sanctuary created by a certain Craig Grant, in 2003. This paradise for cats is located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It is now home to over 500 happy cats.

This huge natural shelter for homeless cats is composed of lots of little houses, a city hall, a church, a water mill, ponds…

A lot of hard work for Craig Grant, but he is very happy like that with his cat army!

These photos are of a mobile homeless shelter that was designed by Paul Elkins. The shelter weighs 225 pounds empty and includes simple storage, a makeshift washroom, a kitchen, and a sleeping area. The roof acts as a rain catcher which collects free water. I think it is rather a good idea and well designed.
