Adopt a American Shorthair in Florida

American Shorthairs are sturdy, easygoing, and adaptable cats — the all-American working barn cat refined into a recognized breed. They appear in rescue often and tend to be healthy and long-lived. A rescued American Shorthair is a low-maintenance, affectionate family companion.

Florida has a vibrant rescue cat community with organizations throughout the state working to reduce the stray cat population through trap-neuter-return programs and adoption events.
