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

25°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

NYC winters are harsh for Chihuahuas. Their tiny body loses heat rapidly, and they need an insulated coat and booties for every outdoor trip. Keep walks under 10 minutes when temperatures drop below 30°F. Wind between buildings intensifies the cold.

Spring

42°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring brings welcome relief for Chihuahuas in NYC. By April they can enjoy longer walks through Washington Square Park and the West Village. A light sweater may still be needed for cool mornings. Watch for puddles since Chihuahuas chill easily when wet.

Summer

68°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Chihuahuas handle NYC summers better than cold since they originate from warm Mexican climates. However, hot pavement is a serious hazard for their tiny paws, which are very close to the ground. Walk in grassy areas or use booties. Always carry water.
