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 Yorkshire?

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 Yorkshire today, domestic shorthair cats are listed by Cat Action Trust 1977 (Leeds) (at Leeds), Heronbank Cat Rescue (at Huddersfield) and Yorkshire Cat Rescue (at Keighley), and 1 other rescue. See each rescue's own page for its fee.

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