About the Tuxedo

Tuxedo is a coat colour or pattern rather than a breed, so tuxedo cats turn up across every breed and mix in Canadian rescue. Below is every adoptable tuxedo cat we're currently tracking across our launched cities in Canada.

LocalPetFinder aggregates tuxedo cats from rescues across Canada into one searchable place. Use the city links above to narrow to your area, or browse the full inventory below. Each profile links straight to the rescue to apply.

Most tuxedo cats in rescue are domestic shorthairs, the short-coated, mixed-ancestry cats that make up most of Canada's adoptable cats.

Tuxedo Cat Adoption FAQ

How many Tuxedos are available for adoption in Canada?▼
As of October 2026, 71 Tuxedos are available for adoption in Canada across 29 rescues on LocalPetFinder. Listings update regularly as cats are adopted and new ones arrive — browse the current Tuxedos above and apply directly through the rescue.
Are tuxedo cats friendlier than other cats?▼
No scientific basis : but anecdotally tuxedos are often described as outgoing, vocal, and bonded to their humans. The forum-folklore is that tuxedos are 200% cat. Take with a grain of salt; personality is individual.
Why are black cats overlooked at shelters?▼
Black and tuxedo cats often spend longer in rescue because they don't photograph as well online. Their faces and expressions are harder to see in photos. Visiting in person quickly fixes this perception.
Are tuxedo cats considered lucky?▼
In many cultures, yes. Tuxedo cats are seen as good luck in parts of Europe and Asia. In Britain, a tuxedo cat in the house is said to ward off bad spirits.
Are tuxedo cats more vocal?▼
Anecdotally yes : many tuxedo owners report unusually chatty cats. No genetic explanation, just a popular observation.
Is a tuxedo cat a domestic shorthair?▼
Usually, yes. Tuxedo describes the coat, not the breed, and most tuxedo cats in Canadian rescues are domestic shorthairs: short-coated cats of mixed ancestry. A few are domestic longhairs or purebreds, and each listing names the breed the rescue recorded.
