About Domestic Long Hair Cats

Domestic Long Hairs are gorgeous, fluffy cats with luxurious coats and endearing personalities. Not a specific breed, they represent the long-haired segment of mixed-heritage cats and are among the most common cats in shelters. Each one has a unique appearance and personality shaped by their diverse genetic background.

Adopting a Domestic Long Hair means welcoming a stunning, loving cat who deserves a forever home. Their flowing coats require regular brushing, but the bonding time during grooming is its own reward. These cats are as diverse in personality as they are in appearance - you're sure to find the perfect match.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

The rainy season brings most of the annual 18 inches of rainfall. Trails can be muddy and creek crossings may be dangerous. Between storms, clear days with ocean views make wonderful walking weather for pets.

Spring

45°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Wildflowers carpet the hillsides and the marine layer burns off by midmorning. Beach walks are excellent and the mountain trails dry out. One of the best times of year for outdoor adventures with your pet.

Summer

55°F to 75°F

Jun – Aug

Morning marine layer keeps things cool along the coast. Afternoons warm up but rarely feel hot thanks to ocean breezes. Hendry's Beach is packed with dogs and their owners enjoying the surf.
