I have a DSH female declawed cat.
I would like to have her bred at least once,
befor I have her fixed. I can not let her outside.
What options are there?

WHY do you want her bred?
Do you have homes all set up for any kittens (vary from a single to over 8).
Are you prepared for any complications to a pregnancy (C-sections ain't cheap).
Are you prepared for any illnesses the kitten(s) might have?
WHY do you want to breed her?
It is a GIGANTIC MYTH (yes, I'm shouting) that a cat NEEDS to have a litter to be 'normal'. It is also a myth that children need to see the 'miracle' of life (if this is why you want her bred).
And no matter how pretty or sweet or funny or unique in her coloring, a DSH (domestic shorthair) is literally a dime a few hundred thousand.
Please just have her fixed. She will not be missing anything, and will be a healthier, happier cat for it.

Just ask around or talk to a vet. You should be able to find a free stud somewhere. Do it before she goes into heat. Female cats are terrible when they are in heat, and nearly always get out.
Usually the tom owner gets the pick of the litter or a dollar amount if it's a purebred. Make sure that the male has had is shots so you cat does not pick up parvou, distemper, or feline anemia (cat aids).
Then get her fixed.

Ok, let's be mature about this.
Yes, there are good breeders out there who do the job well (ie, spay/neuter and microchip the kittens they adopt out), and kudos to those that do.
Unfortunately, I work in a city shelter, so I see the aftermath of irresponsible breeding every day and often have to euthanize perfectly adoptable cats because we need the kennel space so I cannot in any way agree with you wanting your cat to have a litter. There are simply more cats already around than there are homes. You need to understand that if your cat did have kittens and you were able to find homes for them all, it's still that many more shelter pets that didn't get adopted. You know what they say... "leave it to the pros."

He desires: a million. To be purebred and registered in a professional affiliation (no longer APRI, or different cr*p registeries). professional u . s . institutions are CFA, ACFA, TICA, and a few others yet those are the main 3 - cat must be registered in a minimum of one among them (often CFA). 2. Been examined for all genetic issues contained in the breed. 3. Been shown in cat exhibits and earned a minimum of a champion identify if not greater (or has to have a steller pedigree). If the above isn't achieved, he should not be bred to the different cat. Neuter him previously he starts off spraying. you do no longer point out whether he's a breed of cat, so i'm assuming he's no longer and you have not got registration papers for him.

are you a breeder????? is she a PUREBRED???? taking that she's a DSH I suspect NOT!!!!!!!
SPAY your cat ASAP!!!!!!! quit producing MORE unwanted kittens in this world ok!!!!! don't you realize that there are already millions of homeless ones in shelters now?????? why the hell are you WANTING to make more????? take a stroll inside your local animal shelter before you want her to breed alright!!!!!
spaying is better for her health and temperment anyways!!!!!!! my 2 yr. old female was spayed before her first heat and she is STILL the sweetest cat I've ever had!!!!
STOP being irresponsible and have your cat spayed!!!
people like you really disgust me!

quite honestly, people who think every cat should be fixed are absolutely just...dumb to put it very nicely. i breed cats. i know how to do it. i have purebred cats, and i have mixed breeds. i breed one pair, with careful stud choosing (YES THERE ARE STUD FEES TO PUREBREDS) and i watch their lineage, and sell them. i keep one kitten per batch. unless you plan to keep everything or do not know what to do with the kittens, dont breed unless you have people who want them. cat poplulations sky-rocket in a minute. inbreeding is also a common problem for feral and farm cats. for those of you who posted before me and said breeding is wrong...get your dang facts straight before you start chewing them out for asking a simple, innocent question, and yes it DID offend me with your post.

You would need to contact a breeder or try craigslist
