Adopt a Domestic Short Hair in Alabama

Domestic Short Hair cats — the most common cat in rescue — are mixed-heritage cats with short coats, varied colors, and personalities ranging from cuddly to independent. Their genetic diversity tends to make them robust and long-lived. A rescued DSH fits almost any household.

Alabama's rescue cat population is significant, especially in rural communities where stray populations remain high. Trap-neuter-return programs in Birmingham and Montgomery have made progress, and adoptable cats are abundant statewide.
