Rescue domestic shorthair cats for adoption and rehoming in and around Carmarthenshire

As of 8 November 2026, no domestic shorthair cats are listed for adoption in and around Carmarthenshire on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

A domestic shorthair is a non-pedigree cat with a short coat, often called a moggy. PDSA says domestic cats are of mixed ancestry and are not a recognised breed, but domestic shorthairs, longhairs and medium hairs are still the most common type of cat owned in the UK.

Roughly March to September. Cats Protection says most kittens in the UK are born between March and September, and that the number of pregnant cats and unwanted kittens arriving in its care rises from March to May, peaks from June to September and falls in October and November.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every domestic shorthair on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "domestic shorthair kittens for sale Carmarthenshire", the domestic shorthair cats here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In Wales, Lucy's Law has meant since 10 September 2021 that kittens can only be bought where they were bred, or from a rescue or rehoming centre.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.
