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

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

The rainy season brings most of the annual 18 inches of rainfall. Trails can be muddy and creek crossings may be dangerous. Between storms, clear days with ocean views make wonderful walking weather for pets.

Spring

45°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Wildflowers carpet the hillsides and the marine layer burns off by midmorning. Beach walks are excellent and the mountain trails dry out. One of the best times of year for outdoor adventures with your pet.

Summer

55°F to 75°F

Jun – Aug

Morning marine layer keeps things cool along the coast. Afternoons warm up but rarely feel hot thanks to ocean breezes. Hendry's Beach is packed with dogs and their owners enjoying the surf.

Fall

50°F to 72°F

Sep – Nov
