About domestic shorthair cats in Belfast
In the city itself, Kumiko Cat Lounge on the Upper Newtownards Road is a rescue led cat lounge, not a charity, where you book a quiet session with cats waiting for homes. It works in partnership with Belfast Kitten Rescue, a self funded rescue that fosters cats in its own homes, and each cat at the lounge has its own application to adopt. Belfast Kitten Rescue prefers homes where its cats can safely go outside, so it will not rehome anywhere on or near a busy road; a cat that suits indoor life says so in its description.
Assisi Animal Sanctuary at Conlig, about 10 miles from Belfast, asks £100 for a cat or kitten. You apply on the cat's own page, the team phones you, and if you are a match you are invited up to meet the cats that suit you; it cannot do same day rehoming. If a cat leaves before it is neutered, Assisi contributes towards the cost. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI at Moira, about 14 miles away, rehomes cats across Northern Ireland with a large volunteer team, and says it will hold out for the family it feels best matches each animal, even if that means saying no.

About domestic shorthair cats
A domestic shorthair is an everyday non-pedigree cat with a short coat, often called a moggy. PDSA says that while they are not a recognised breed, domestic shorthairs, longhairs and medium hairs "are still the most common type of cat owned in the UK."

Are there domestic shorthair kittens for sale in Banbridge?
No. Rescues rehome domestic shorthair cats for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the cat. In and around Banbridge today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by Petal's Place Cat Rescue (in Banbridge), Paws and People (in Banbridge) and Almost Home Animal Rescue NI (at Moira, about 9 miles away), and 6 other rescues. Paws and People asks £50 for a cat or kitten. For Petal's Place Cat Rescue and Almost Home Animal Rescue NI, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Banbridge, or one under £100?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing domestic shorthair cats in and around Banbridge today, the published fees run from £50 at Paws and People to £100 at Assisi Animal Sanctuary. Some are under £100; the profile shows each animal's fee. For the other 5, see the rescue's own page.
