About domestic shorthair cats in Perth
Domestic shorthairs near Perth are listed with us by Fife Cat Shelter, a Scottish charity founded in 1993 and based at Cleish, by Kinross, about 13 miles from Perth. Many of its cats board in dedicated units at two private catteries, at Scotlandwell and just outside Cleish, and every cat goes to a vet for a health check before it comes in. Phone the shelter itself, not the catteries, and arrange a time before you visit; staff will say whether, in their view, a cat would fit your lifestyle.
The donation is £120 for a neutered cat and £100 for a kitten not yet neutered, paid when you collect, and cats are always collected in person. A kitten adopted unneutered comes with an agreement you sign to have it neutered by six months; the shelter recommends four months if your vet agrees the kitten is heavy enough.

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 Dundee?
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 Dundee today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by Whinnybank Cat Sanctuary (at Newburgh, about 13 miles away) and Fife Cat Shelter (at Kinross, about 25 miles away). Fife Cat Shelter asks £120 for a neutered cat. For Whinnybank Cat Sanctuary, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Dundee, 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 Dundee today, Fife Cat Shelter publishes its fee: it asks £120 for a neutered cat. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
