Adopt a Domestic Short Hair in Massachusetts

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.

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.
