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.
