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

22°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Boston winters are cold with significant snow, icy sidewalks, and frequent nor’easters. Paw wax and booties protect against road salt irritation. Keep outdoor time shorter during wind chills and have indoor activities ready for blizzard days.

Spring

35°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Spring is slow to arrive in Boston with cool temperatures lingering into April. As snow melts, the Esplanade and Boston Common become pleasant for walks. Watch for mud on trails in the Blue Hills and Arnold Arboretum as the ground thaws.

Summer

62°F to 82°F

Jun – Aug

Warm, humid summers are great for walks along the Charles River Esplanade and visits to the Boston Harbor waterfront. Carry water and seek shade during midday heat. The Boston Common and Public Garden offer beautiful settings for pet outings.
