The Oriental Shorthair is a medium-sized cat with a short coat. With rescue cats the individual matters more than the label — temperament, age and history tell you far more than the breed name on the card, and many rescue cats are moggies rather than pedigrees.
Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a cat listed as an Oriental Shorthair may simply be the closest match a rescue could give. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out.
Right now Oriental Shorthairs in Australia are listed by Happy Paws Haven, RSPCA NSW. Applications, home checks and adoption decisions are handled by the rescue directly — LocalPetFinder brings the listings together so you do not have to check each rescue separately, and does not take a fee.

Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Oriental Shorthair here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a couple of hundred dollars, against often well over a thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "oriental shorthair cat for sale", adopting gets you a vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
