A pound kitty.

Walk the rows and let one pick her...

The most versatile breed and does well in any situation is Domestic
Short Hair. Two variations are also nice breeds, Domestic Medium
Hair and Domestic Long Hair.

Seriously, though, any cat will do and the most important
characteristic is that they "click" together. Can your mom go
visit a shelter or a rescue group facility and see the cats that
need homes? In the US, most PetSmarts and PetCo stores have rescue
group adoption functions on the weekends. If you are in the US, the
best way to find out where these events are taking place is to go
to http://www.petfinder.org and put in your zip code. It will
return the animal rescue groups in your area, and further clicking
should lead you to "adoption events" or at least a phone number to
call to find out how to meet their cats.

Good luck.

Maine Coons are a wonderful breed, but aren't exactly short haired, but
mine doesn't seem to shed that much. I think the important thing is to
NOT get a kitten for her. Pick out one that is at least 2-3 years old
and one that bonds with her.

Absolutely! The best kitty is a pound kitty. Your mom gets
companionship. A kitty's life is saved. Win-win. Do walk the rows.
Pick the slightly more mature cat who puts his paw through the cage to
reach out for love.

maine coons can really shed, especially in fall and spring.
their fine undercoat floats through the air in our house,
getting into everything.

The shortest hair cat I reckon would be a "Devon Rex" or "Cornish Rex"
