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

-5°F to 20°F

Dec – Feb

Dangerously cold winters with wind chills reaching -30°F or lower. Limit outdoor time to brief bathroom breaks and use insulated coats and booties for all pets. Watch for frostbite on ears and paw pads. Indoor exercise is a necessity.

Spring flooding along the Red River is an annual concern. Keep pets away from swollen waterways. Late-season snowstorms are possible through April. As conditions improve, the trail system opens up for walks.

Jun – Aug

The best season for pet activities in Fargo, with warm days and long twilight hours. Mosquitoes can be fierce near the river, so use pet-safe repellents. Severe thunderstorms are common in June and July.
