Are there domestic shorthair kittens for sale in Shrewsbury?

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 and around Shrewsbury today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by Shropshire Cat Rescue (in Shrewsbury) and Shropshire Street Cats (at Whitchurch, about 18 miles away). See each rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Shrewsbury, 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 Shrewsbury today publishes a fee we have recorded, so see each rescue's own page for its fee.
