Adopt a Domestic Short Hair in Kentucky

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.

Kentucky's rescue cat population is substantial, with active organizations in Louisville, Lexington, and surrounding communities. Rural strays and barn-cat surrenders are common, and TNR programs are growing.
