About Domestic Short Hair Cats

Domestic Short Hairs are the most common cats found in shelters and are not a specific breed but rather a wonderfully diverse mix of feline genetics. Each one is unique, with their own blend of colors, patterns, and temperaments. They're adaptable, low-maintenance, and full of character.

Adopting a Domestic Short Hair means giving a home to a cat who truly needs one. These cats are the backbone of shelter populations and make endlessly rewarding companions. Their easy-care short coats and adaptable natures make them ideal for first-time and experienced cat owners alike.

Adopting in Tempe, AZ

Tempe's energetic college-town atmosphere and sunny Arizona weather make it a vibrant city for pet adoption. Local shelters and rescue groups in the East Valley have many animals looking for active families in this community centered around Arizona State University.

With Tempe Town Lake, Papago Park's scenic trails, and the South Mountain foothills nearby, Tempe offers adopted pets an active desert lifestyle with plenty of water features and urban amenities.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

The most pleasant season for outdoor activities in Tempe. Mild temperatures make lakeside walks and Papago Park hikes comfortable all day. Nighttime temperatures can dip into the 40s, so short-haired breeds may need a light layer.

Spring

52°F to 90°F

Mar – May

Temperatures rise quickly from comfortable to hot. By May, pavement is already dangerous for paws during midday. Enjoy the wildflower blooms in early spring and transition to morning-only walks by late April.

Summer

78°F to 107°F

Jun – Aug

Extreme heat makes outdoor activity dangerous from late morning through evening. Walk pets only before 7 AM and always test pavement temperature first. Keep fresh water available at all times and never leave pets in vehicles.

Fall

55°F to 95°F
