Adopt a American Shorthair in Texas

American Shorthairs are sturdy, easygoing, and adaptable cats — the all-American working barn cat refined into a recognized breed. They appear in rescue often and tend to be healthy and long-lived. A rescued American Shorthair is a low-maintenance, affectionate family companion.

Texas rescue organizations care for thousands of cats across the state. From Houston's large-scale shelters to Austin's progressive rescue community, there are many opportunities to find your perfect feline companion.
