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."

Sunshine Cat Rescue asks £95 for a cat and Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary £120 for a cat or kitten. For Nine Lives Cat Rescue, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Oxfordshire, 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.
