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 58°F

Dec – Feb

Oakland winters are cool and wet, with rain falling mostly between November and March. Lake Merritt and neighborhood parks remain pleasant on dry days. Muddy conditions on hills trails are common, so stick to paved paths after storms.

Spring

48°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring brings greening hillsides and wildflowers throughout the East Bay parks. As rain tapers off, trails in Joaquin Miller Park and Redwood Regional Park dry out for hiking. Watch for foxtail grass that begins appearing in late spring and can be dangerous for dogs.

Summer

55°F to 75°F

Jun – Aug

Oakland summers are dry and mild, with moderate temperatures comfortable for all breeds. Wildfire smoke from the East Bay hills may occasionally affect air quality. Check foxtail grass areas carefully and inspect your dog’s ears, nose, and paws after hikes.
