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

12°F to 35°F

Dec – Feb

Omaha winters are cold with snow, ice, and biting wind. Bundle up short-haired breeds in insulated coats and limit time outdoors during wind chills below zero. Rinse paws after walks to remove road salt and de-icing chemicals.

Spring

32°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring is pleasant but brief, with rapidly warming temperatures. Severe thunderstorms are possible as warm and cold fronts clash over the Great Plains. Gene Leahy Mall and the Riverfront parks are excellent for pet walks as conditions improve.

Summer

62°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers with severe thunderstorm risk call for careful planning of outdoor activities. Walk in the morning or evening and carry water for your pet. The Missouri River trails and Heartland of America Park offer scenic but exposed routes, so seek shade.

Fall

35°F to 72°F
