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."

Are there domestic shorthair kittens for sale in West Midlands?

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 West Midlands today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by Midlands Animal Rescue Team (at Tipton), Left Paw Cat Rescue (at Birmingham) and Fur and Feathers Animal Sanctuary (at Birmingham), and 7 other rescues. Midlands Animal Rescue Team asks a minimum of £90 per cat or kitten. For Left Paw Cat Rescue and Fur and Feathers Animal Sanctuary, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in West Midlands, 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. Of the rescues listing domestic shorthair cats in West Midlands today, the published fees run from £90 at Midlands Animal Rescue Team to £100 at Coventry Cat Group. Some are under £100; the profile shows each animal's fee. For the other 7, see the rescue's own page.
