Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Oswestry, 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. None of the rescues listing domestic shorthair cats in and around Oswestry today publishes a fee we have recorded, so see each rescue's own page for its fee.
