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

Kansas tornado season peaks from April through June. Have a basement or interior room designated for pet shelter during severe weather. Strong winds can kick up dust and debris, so protect your pet during windy days.

Summer

68°F to 93°F

Hot, humid days with temperatures regularly in the 90s require early morning or evening walks. Provide shade and fresh water at all times. Thunderstorms with hail are common and can frighten noise-sensitive pets.
