1. Lasko 100 MyHeat Personal Ceramic Heater, Compact, Black
- KEEPS YOU WARM AT WORK – At 200-Watts and 682 BTUs, this low wattage mini space heater is ideal for use under the desk to keep your feet and legs warm. Best of all, because it’s low wattage, it won’t keep tripping the office circuit breaker every time you turn it on.
- YOUR PERSONAL SPACE HEATER – At 6 inches tall with a 4” x 4” footprint, this cute, small electric heater takes up minimal desktop space and is intended to heat up your immediate space at home or the office. Designed to warm you, not a room. For that, we recommend getting a Lasko 1500-Watt tower heater.
- EASY TO USE – No assembly required. Simply take it out of the box and plug it in to a standard 120v wall outlet. This energy-efficient, indoor ceramic heater draws about 2 amps and turns on with a flip of a switch. Compact and portable, MyHeat comes with a 6-foot cord and a 2-pronged plug. It’s also easily stored when not in use.
- YEAR ROUND USE – Tired of always being cold at work in the winter? Is your cube right under the AC vent in the summer? If this sounds familiar, then this little heater is just what you need to keep you comfortable year-round. Produces a quiet, white noise that won’t disrupt your co-workers. MyHeat is available in 4 fun colors (black, white, blue, and purple) and makes for a great gift.
- TRUSTED FOR GENERATIONS – Lasko has been making quality products for over 100 years. MyHeat is ETL Listed and comes with Automatic Overheat Protection. The on/off switch lights up to let you know the unit is on. The self-regulating, safe ceramic heating element keeps the exterior cool to the touch – taking the worry out of using the heater for long periods of time.
- Lower power useage saves on your energy bill and helps to elimanate tripping the circuit breaker if multiple heaters are used in an office setting.

Respect for the attempt, but your setup is inefficient. The heat won't "bounce and stay in" as you hoped. Heat rises, and since your "warming area" is wide open that heater is doing exactly nothing.
What you need to do is insulate below the cages, then trap as much heat as possible inside the cages. Putting the cages directly on the concrete floor is going to make the cages colder and will readily defeat any attempt at heating that you may come up with. If you have a wire shelf unit like this one it'll help a lot. Put the bottom shelf just off the floor, stack two carriers on it, put the second shelf just above it, stack two more carriers, put the third shelf on it, and stack two more carriers. Make sure the older AND younger cats are at the top. Cover the whole thing with a couple of old moving blankets, then place that little heater on the floor pointing up at a slight angle. Between the heater and the bodies of all the cats it will stay toasty warm inside. I do something like this with my ferret cage and one of those little desktop hand heaters -- specifically, this one -- and even if the room is 50 degrees the ferret cage is easily 20 degrees warmer.
I forgot to add, you can get wild animal traps at Lowe's or Home Depot or something if you want to catch it yourself, but I would contact the rescues first because they might already have those cages! If you want one though here is a link to one on Amazon.
