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.

Joplin's resilient community spirit and tri-state location at the corner of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma make it a heartfelt city for pet adoption. After rebuilding from a devastating tornado, the city's commitment to community extends powerfully to caring for animals.

With Wildcat Glades Conservation and Audubon Center, Cunningham Park, and Schifferdecker Park, Joplin gives adopted pets natural springs, wooded trails, and open green spaces. The community's proven ability to come together in adversity creates a deeply caring environment for shelter animals.
