Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Cat Holding 3 (Cat Alley):4

Pastel is a sweet tripod girl who gets around beautifully on three legs and must be kept indoors-only for her safety.

She can be scared in new environments, but with patience and a calm approach, she truly blossoms. Once she trusts you, she becomes affectionate and engaged, seeking out pets and purring loudly. She especially loves scratches around her head and neck, will gently head butt for attention, and will even “talk” when she hears you coming. She’s tolerant of being picked up once she feels secure.

Pastel would thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home with experienced adopters who will move at her pace and give her time to build confidence. Because she prefers not to jump, she’ll do best in a space that minimizes high surfaces and makes it easy for her to navigate comfortably.

The domestic short hair cat is a popular and diverse breed known for its unique personalities and low maintenance care. These cats come in various colors and patterns, with short, easy to manage coats that require minimal grooming. Domestic short hairs are friendly, adaptable, and make wonderful companions for individuals and families alike. They possess playful and affectionate qualities that endear them to many, making them one of the most beloved and widely adopted cat breeds worldwide.
