Where can I adopt a domestic longhair in Mid Sussex?
With the rescue that has the cat. Today the domestic longhair cats on this page are with Rescue Remedies (2), Last Chance Animal Rescue (1) and Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
Do long-haired cats need a lot of grooming?
Yes, more than short-haired cats. Cats Protection says long-haired cats need brushing daily to prevent tangles and mats, while short-haired cats need about a weekly brush. PDSA says domestic longhairs have a much longer coat which requires regular grooming.
What should I do if my long-haired cat is matted?
Take the cat to a vet. Cats Protection says not to brush or cut mats out yourself, because knots close to the skin can tear it, and scissors are especially dangerous. A vet can clip the mats under sedation.
Are domestic longhair cats good with children?
It depends on the cat, not the breed. Most of the 4 domestic longhair cats listed in and around Mid Sussex today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the cat could live with.
