Can my outdoor leukemic cat survive 5°F nights in a toolshed?

Question

My outdoor cat has been diagnosed with leukemia. It is supposed to be 7 degrees tonight & 5 degrees Saturday night. I have built her a insulated cat shelter with a plastic container & insulation boards inside with silver paper on the inside of the shelter. I have a towel & pet blanket inside the shelter. If I put the cat shelter & my cat inside my unheated toolshed for the weekend to keep the breeze off her, will she survive 5 - 7 degrees nights?

It is very cold out where you are and I do not recommend keeping her outside. If you are able to bring her indoors it would be the best thing for her especially with having leukemia. If you have another cat then I would put Patches in a bedroom and keep your other cat out until it starts to warm up a little. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
