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.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

32°F to 58°F

Dec – Feb

El Paso winters are comfortable for Labrador Retrievers. Franklin Mountains State Park trails are ideal for high-energy Labs. The dry, mild conditions let them exercise to their full potential.

Spring

45°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Spring dust storms can irritate Labs’ eyes and respiratory system. Keep walks shorter during high-wind days. As temperatures climb, transition Labrador Retrievers to early morning outings by mid-spring.

Summer

68°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

El Paso’s dry heat is intense but slightly easier on Labs than humid cities. Still, walk before 6 AM only. Rocky desert terrain can be rough on paw pads, so check your Labrador Retriever’s feet after hikes.
