Here you will find a list of cat breeds that are very likely to get along with dogs. However, please remember that getting one of these breeds doesn't guarantee peaceful co-living. Proper introduction is always necessary, and you should never disregard the cat and dog's individual qualities. Sometimes, in spite of all your efforts, the animals just won't make it.
