About Queenie

26CH0151 I was found roaming the streets in someone's neighborhood. A nice lady found me and could tell I was lost and wanted to be indoors. She looked for my owner with no luck. She asked for Cat Haven's help to find me a new home.

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 Baton Rouge, LA

Baton Rouge's warm Louisiana climate and spirited community make it a great city for pet adoption. The capital city's shelters and rescue organizations have many lovable animals ready for forever homes in a city known for its hospitality.

With beautiful bayou trails through BREC's park system, LSU Lakes for scenic walks, and a culture that celebrates togetherness, Baton Rouge offers adopted pets a life full of Southern warmth and good company.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 60°F

Dec – Feb

The most comfortable season for outdoor pet activities in Baton Rouge, with lower humidity and mild temperatures. BREC’s park system and LSU Lakes are ideal for longer walks during these months. Occasional cold fronts can bring brief chilly spells, but most days are pleasant for outdoor time.

Spring

52°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Warming temperatures and increasing humidity signal the approach of summer. Heavy spring rains can cause localized flooding, so avoid low-lying bayou trails after storms. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes become active early, so ensure all preventatives are current.

Summer

72°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Oppressive heat and humidity with heat indices often exceeding 105°F make summer dangerous for outdoor pets. Limit walks to early morning only, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion. Hurricane season is active, so keep a pet emergency kit stocked with food, water, medications, and a carrier.
