Adopting a Domestic Longhair in New Brunswick
The Domestic Longhair is the long-coated counterpart to the Domestic Shorthair: a mixed-ancestry cat with a fuller, fluffier coat rather than a pedigree. New Brunswick rescue sees fewer of them than shorthairs, but they turn up regularly through People for Animal Wellbeing in Moncton, the Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue, and the Fredericton SPCA, sometimes as strikingly fluffy cats that look part-Maine Coon or part-Persian without the papers. This page gathers every adoptable Domestic Longhair and medium-haired cat from the NB shelters we cover into one place, refreshed regularly.
As with shorthairs, the mixed ancestry tends to mean hardy health and a personality the shelter already knows. The one real difference is coat care, so read the listing and ask the shelter how much grooming the individual cat needs.
What to know before you adopt
The main difference from a shorthair is grooming. A Domestic Longhair needs regular brushing, often several times a week, to prevent mats and to manage the hairballs that come with a longer coat. Beyond that they share the DSH advantages: hybrid vigour, a wide range of personalities, and the adaptability that makes mixed cats such easy companions. Many are placid, affectionate cats that come to enjoy the brushing once they are used to it.
Like all New Brunswick rescue cats they are adopted to indoor homes, which suits a long coat well, since an indoor cat stays free of the burrs, mats, and road salt an outdoor Maritime winter would bring. Damp Bay of Fundy cold in Saint John, snowy winters province-wide, city traffic, and the local community-cat population all make indoor living the safe choice. Give a Domestic Longhair regular grooming, a window to watch, and daily play, and the fuller coat is the only extra work.
