Domestic Shorthair Kittens for sale in Leicester

7 Domestic Shorthair Kittens for sale in Leicester

The Domestic Shorthair, often referred to simply as DSH, is not a specific breed but rather a classification for mixed-breed cats with short coats. Originating from a wide, diverse gene pool, these cats are the most common found in UK shelters and homes. Physically, Domestic Shorthairs vary greatly in size and colour, boasting short fur that lies close to the body. Their coats come in many patterns like tabby, solid, bicolor, or calico, making each cat unique. Temperamentally, they are highly adaptable; some are affectionate and playful, while others might be independent or calm. Their personality largely depends on their upbringing and environment, not breed standards. Ideal for a range of households, Domestic Shorthairs tend to be healthy, benefiting from hybrid vigour, and require minimal grooming thanks to their short hair. They make excellent pets for families and individuals alike, offering a lovable companion without the higher costs associated with pedigree breeds.
