Adopt a Domestic Short Hair in Connecticut

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.

Connecticut's rescue cats come from both local shelters and transport networks. Organizations across the state focus on TNR and finding homes for community cats, with steady availability in Hartford, New Haven, and Fairfield County.
