About domestic shorthair cats in Bournemouth
Domestic shorthairs near Bournemouth have come from Margaret Green Animal Rescue at Church Knowle, near Wareham on the Isle of Purbeck, about 11 miles away, and Second Chance Animal Rescue at Mansbridge in Southampton, about 24 miles away.
Church Knowle is open to visitors from 11am to 3pm and closed on Wednesdays, but rehoming is by appointment only. Apply on a cat's profile; if you are a possible match it phones you, then holds a Zoom call or home visit, asks for a vet reference and, if you rent, your landlord's agreement, before you meet the cat (how it works). The fee covers neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, worming, flea treatment and health checks, and the exact figure for your cat is agreed when you reserve (rehoming fee).
Second Chance has rehomed animals for over 40 years and asks you to make contact first, as viewing is by appointment. Cat enquiries go through a form on its cats page, and it keeps your details for a month. It also looks for farms, stables and smallholdings to take neutered, vaccinated feral cats.

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."

Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Salisbury, or one under £100?
