About Poison Ivy

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

30°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Mild compared to northern cities, but occasional ice storms and light snow can make surfaces slippery. Keep paw wax handy for icy mornings, and have indoor activities planned for days when conditions are too hazardous for walks. Most winter days are comfortable enough for regular outdoor routines.

Spring

42°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Long, pleasant spring days are ideal for greenway walks and training sessions at local parks. Pollen counts are among the highest in the country during this season, so watch for allergy symptoms in your pet. The Bog Garden and greenway system are especially beautiful as everything blooms.

Summer

68°F to 90°F
