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.

35°F to 55°F

50°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Spring brings ideal temperatures for outdoor pet activities, but also severe thunderstorm and tornado season. Have a pet emergency plan ready and watch weather alerts. Bluebonnets and wildflowers make trail walks along the Trinity River especially scenic.

Dallas summers are hot and often exceed 100°F. Limit outdoor time to early morning or after sunset and never leave pets in parked cars. Hot pavement can burn paw pads in minutes, so always test the surface before walking.
