There is a entrance on the front and back so cats can escape if anything comes to the front door. When trying to get cats used to it, take the plastic doors off, they are held on with velcro and can easily be put back on. We keep ours off the ground and elevated a few feet to keep skunks and etc. from trying to get in.
The pads inside don't pull a lot of amps of electricity, so smaller cords, like 16 gauge are fine.
The main thing with animals outside is keeping them dry and out of the wind. This does both of these and the heated pad makes it much more pleasant for them.
The tip above about removing the doors is key, I could not get the three ferals we care for to use the door flap. In the winter I keep one on the back to stop some of the airflow, but still keep the front one off.
I have a couple of Govee temperature sensors tucked under the mat inside so I can be sure (through their app) that the heating pads are functioning, there's really no way to know, these low wattage pads aren't necessarily warm to the touch.
Cats will bring a lot of dirt and debris in with them, I bought a couple of 18"x24" quilted waterproof pads to protect the plush floor material, which you can wash, I even use a similarly sized pee pad on top of that which can be easily changed out.
Last and most important thing.. if you're housing ferals, please try to get in touch with a person or organization (sometimes your town may have a program too) that can trap the cats and have them spayed/neutered. It will cost you about $100 per cat but it's the single most important thing you can do to help them and improve the quality of their lives, it is truly unbelievable how quickly they multiply. If you see the left ear is clipped, you're good to go, that cat has already been fixed. Most ferals will be too old (they have to be socialized to humans very early on) for such an organization to try to adopt out, so they will re-release them where they were trapped.

If you don't care about your pets' comfort, then you shouldn't have any.

I still bought one of these, but you got to give credit to the adaptability of the domestic feline.

Alternatively, I used an Igloo cooler (Walmart $20 ish) and a plug in heating pad. Drill a 6 inch hole on the front of the cooler for the cat entrance and a 1 inch hold on the back for the heating pad plug to pass through.
Add a cushion or towel and you're all set. Optionally, you can take flexible plastic (like a shower curtain) and cut a section just larger than the entrance. Leaving 1 inch across the top, cut 1/4 inch strips and duct tape it on the inside hanging over the entrance. This keeps the heat in a bit.
