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

61°F to 78°F

Dec – Feb

Miami winters are perfect for Chihuahuas. The warm, tropical climate matches their natural comfort zone. South Beach walks, Bayfront Park outings, and outdoor dining are all comfortable. Even in winter, carry water as Chihuahuas dehydrate faster than larger breeds.

Spring

66°F to 87°F

Mar – May

Spring in Miami is warm and getting humid, but Chihuahuas handle it well compared to cold-adapted breeds. Watch for hot pavement as temperatures climb. Their small size means they are closer to the radiant heat from the ground.

Summer

76°F to 91°F

Jun – Aug

Miami summers are hot but Chihuahuas tolerate them better than double-coated or brachycephalic breeds. Walk on grass to avoid pavement burns, carry water, and seek shade. Afternoon thunderstorms can startle small breeds, so keep indoor comfort areas available.
