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.

Labs shed their winter undercoat as Houston warms up. Brush frequently to manage shedding. Mosquitoes emerge early, so keep heartworm prevention current since Labs spend lots of time outdoors.

75°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Houston’s extreme heat and humidity are dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers who don’t self-regulate during exercise. Walk only before 7 AM or after 8 PM. Provide wading pools to help Labs cool off at home.
