How to repair large ceramic cat for garden?

Denver, CO(Zone 5b)

Hello,
Two years ago I found the perfect accent for my slender side yard, a 3' tall celadon cat from China. I knew to take it in before frost, but I did not catch it one night. It developed a 10" long hairline crack from the base of the head down the neck and into the upper back. It has spent a year indoors by the fireplace (not bad looking there) as I have pondered how to repair that crack. Since the cat is only glazed on the surface, and not on the base ("paws"), it will always absorb some water from the rain on the stone.

Does anyone have any idea how to repair this cat so she can sit outdoors again (but not in freezing weather)?

Thank you!
