Adopt a American Shorthair in Massachusetts

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.

Massachusetts has a strong rescue cat community with active TNR programs across the state. Adoptable cats are available year-round from Boston-area shelters and foster-based rescues throughout the state.
