No. Tuxedo describes a black-and-white coat pattern, not a breed: a dark cat with white on the chest, belly, and paws. Tuxedo cats are usually Domestic Shorthairs. Personality depends on the individual cat rather than the markings, so choose on temperament and enjoy the dapper look as a bonus.

There is a fond reputation for tuxedo cats being playful, clever, and a touch mischievous, but it is folklore rather than genetics. A coat pattern does not set temperament. In rescue you have the advantage that the shelter has observed each cat, so you can pick a tuxedo whose real personality fits your home rather than relying on the legend.

Adopting a Tuxedo Cat in New Brunswick typically costs $100 to $350, and kittens usually carry a premium at $175 to $400. The exact fee varies by rescue, and older cats are often reduced. That fee is not a purchase price. It covers work already done on the cat: spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a basic vet workup, which would cost several hundred dollars more if you arranged it yourself after buying. Colour is not a breed, so there is no breeder route to this coat specifically, and the fee reflects the cat's age and the veterinary work already done rather than its markings. Ask the rescue what is included before you apply, since a few include extras like a starter bag of food or a first-month insurance trial.
