About Bowie

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Bowie is a beautiful fluffy boy who loves face rubs and lounging around the house. He may be a good match for adopters with some experience and could thrive in a calm home with older children. Bowie needs to be indoor-only and may be okay with other cats. Initially, he can be a bit shy and may startle at loud noises, but once he trusts you, he will seek out plenty of pets and playtime! Bowie is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He has tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form. Give him the home he has been waiting for.

About Domestic Long Hair Cats

Domestic Long Hairs are gorgeous, fluffy cats with luxurious coats and endearing personalities. Not a specific breed, they represent the long-haired segment of mixed-heritage cats and are among the most common cats in shelters. Each one has a unique appearance and personality shaped by their diverse genetic background.

Adopting a Domestic Long Hair means welcoming a stunning, loving cat who deserves a forever home. Their flowing coats require regular brushing, but the bonding time during grooming is its own reward. These cats are as diverse in personality as they are in appearance - you're sure to find the perfect match.

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.
