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 Hampshire?
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 Hampshire today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by St Francis Animal Welfare (at Fair Oak), Purrfect Paws Feline Welfare (at Waterlooville) and HappyCats Rescue (at Bordon), and 2 other rescues. St Francis Animal Welfare asks £100 for a cat, Purrfect Paws Feline Welfare £160 for a cat and HappyCats Rescue a minimum of £175 for a cat aged 5 months to 10 years.
Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Hampshire, 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 Hampshire today, the published fees run from £100 at St Francis Animal Welfare to £175 at HappyCats Rescue. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
