About domestic shorthair cats in Birmingham
Domestic shorthairs near Birmingham come from a spread of cat charities. Wythall Animal Sanctuary, on the edge of Birmingham at Kings Norton, has the most; the rest are mainly with foster-based groups such as Left Paw Cat Rescue and Fur and Feathers Animal Sanctuary in South Birmingham, and the Midlands Animal Rescue Team, which has no rescue centre and whose volunteers work mainly from their own homes.
Wythall Animal Sanctuary checks the road before it homes a cat and will not rehome to a home on or near a busy road or railway line. Most of its cat home checks are done remotely, with a video tour or photos of your home; it homes young kittens only in pairs or to a home with a young cat, and does not rehome to homes with children under three.
Fur and Feathers Animal Sanctuary homes every cat indoors only, unless you have a secure catio or a cat-proof fenced garden, does its home check in person after you reserve, and includes five weeks of free insurance.

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."

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.

Are there domestic shorthair kittens for sale in Birmingham?
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 Birmingham today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by Left Paw Cat Rescue (in Birmingham), The Animal House Rescue (in Birmingham) and Fur and Feathers Animal Sanctuary (in Birmingham), and 10 other rescues. See each rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham today, the published fees run from £90 at Midlands Animal Rescue Team to £100 at Team Cat Rescue. Some are under £100; the profile shows each animal's fee. For the other 10, see the rescue's own page.
