What is a Puspin?

Puspin, short for Pusang Pinoy are adorable cats with no specific breed. They have short coating with any or multiple combination of coat colors. They are known as Domestic Short Hair (DSH) or House Cat Shorthair (HCS) internationally. The tail of Puspin comes either in normal length or shortened called as ‘stumpy’ or ‘kinked’ tail. Some cats expert believes that Puspins are genetically linked to Japanese Bobtail, known for each short tail which I think is awesome! Get to know Puspins!

I don’t have to find where they poop and clean after it, I have to place my cat litter box anywhere...

Statistically speaking, this is dreadful to hear but what’s more saddening is the situation these strays are in, such as sleeping in a scrawny environment, most of which include injuries requiring them to limp. It is not unknown that most strays are overlooked. Here in the Philippines, we have animal shelters that provide hassle-free adoption for strays, but the number of people adopting is still less or insufficient to provide space for newly rescued cats.  As a member of Facebook groups about taking care of cats and adopting cats, I observed that posts about Puspins for adoption are often overlooked compared to posts for adoption about a cat with a specific breed. As someone who rescues stray cats, it is tough to look for their fur parent and home. I have to screen them thoroughly because there are cases where some people pretentiously adopt cats or k...
