About Domestic Long Hair Cats

Domestic Long Hairs are gorgeous, fluffy cats with luxurious coats and endearing personalities. Not a specific breed, they represent the long-haired segment of mixed-heritage cats and are among the most common cats in shelters. Each one has a unique appearance and personality shaped by their diverse genetic background.

Adopting a Domestic Long Hair means welcoming a stunning, loving cat who deserves a forever home. Their flowing coats require regular brushing, but the bonding time during grooming is its own reward. These cats are as diverse in personality as they are in appearance - you're sure to find the perfect match.
