About Bellucious

Beautiful Bella is a very calm and loving girl. Although she is not a fan of other cats, she would happily share her home with a large dog. She should fit right into almost every family. She will need a little time to adjust to a new home but the effort will be well worth it.

About Domestic Medium Hair Cats

Domestic Medium Hairs are versatile, beautiful cats with plush coats that fall between short and long hair. Not a specific breed, they're among the most common cats in shelters, offering a wonderful balance of beauty and manageable grooming. Their mixed heritage gives each one a distinctive look and personality.

Adopting a Domestic Medium Hair means choosing a resilient, adaptable companion with the genetic advantages of mixed ancestry. These cats bond well with families, adjust easily to new environments, and require less grooming than long-haired breeds. They're proof that shelter cats make extraordinary pets.

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.
