About domestic shorthair cats in Bristol
Domestic shorthair cats near Bristol have come from The Moggery in Bishopston, a cat and kitten rehoming centre that takes visitors by appointment only. Its rules are strict: you must own your home, have access to a garden with grass and borders, live away from a main road or bus route, have a cat flap fitted before the cat goes out, and live in the wider Bristol area. It charges no fee but asks for a generous donation towards the cat's vet bills, and because its checks are done before you visit, you can take a cat home the same day.
Further out, Happy Landings at Pylle near Shepton Mallet, about 22 miles from Bristol, shows cats by appointment, puts a 24 hour reserve on a cat after your first meeting, makes a home visit before you adopt, and phones you after three days and again after three weeks. Compassion for Cats at Oakhill, about 16 miles from Bristol, home checks you before a cat can be reserved and asks a £150 adoption donation. Teckels Animal Sanctuaries at Whitminster in Gloucestershire, about 25 miles from Bristol, asks £90 for a cat and £120 for a kitten.

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."
