Adopting a grey cat in St. John's
Grey, which breeders call blue, is a diluted version of black, and it turns up constantly in Newfoundland rescue on Domestic Shorthairs and medium hairs alike. It comes in solid grey, grey tabby, grey and white, and smoke, and it is one of the most common colours after black and brown tabby. This page gathers every adoptable grey cat from the NL shelters we cover into one place, refreshed regularly.
A solid grey cat often gets mistaken for a Russian Blue or a British Shorthair, and adopters sometimes ask whether their new cat might be one. Almost always the answer is no: pedigreed cats are rare in NL rescue, and what you have is a mixed cat wearing an elegant coat, which is generally the healthier animal anyway.
What to know before you adopt
Grey is a colour and nothing more, so there is no grey-cat temperament to expect. What you get is the same mixed-cat package that makes Newfoundland rescue cats such reliable companions: hybrid vigour, a long life, and a personality the shelter has observed in real conditions rather than inferred from a breed standard.
Care is the standard indoor routine that suits this province: occasional brushing, daily play, vertical space to climb, and an indoor home, which is the norm here given cold damp winters, busy metro roads, and the coyotes established on the island. Grey coats show dandruff more than dark ones do, and long months of dry heated air can bring it on, so a humidifier and regular brushing keep the coat looking its best through a St. John's winter.

Grey Cat Adoption FAQ — St. John's
How many Grey Cats are available for adoption in St. John's?
As of August 2026, there are no Grey Cats listed in St. John's rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Grey Cats are among the rarer cats in local rescue. Inventory turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one, or consider an adoptable Grey Cat mix.
Where can I adopt a grey cat near me in St. John's?
LocalPetFinder lists adoptable grey and blue-coated cats from Newfoundland rescue, led by the City of St. John's Humane Services. Grey is one of the most common colours in NL shelters, so there is usually real choice. Listings refresh regularly and each profile links straight to the shelter to apply.
Is my grey cat a Russian Blue?
Almost certainly not. Pedigreed cats very rarely enter Newfoundland rescue, so a solid grey cat here is nearly always a Domestic Shorthair carrying the dilute gene that turns black into grey. That is good news for health, since mixed cats avoid the inherited problems that concentrate in closed pedigree lines.
Do grey cats have a particular personality?
No. Coat colour and temperament are unrelated in cats, and any pattern you notice is coincidence or the reputation of a specific pedigree breed bleeding across. Choose on the shelter's notes about the individual cat: how it handles handling, noise, children, and other pets tells you far more than the coat.
How much does it cost to adopt a Grey Cat in St. John's?
Adopting a Grey Cat in St. John's typically costs $100 to $300, and kittens usually carry a premium at $200 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. Buying the same breed from a registered breeder generally runs well over $1,000, usually with a waitlist. 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.
Are these Grey Cat cats for sale in St. John's?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Grey Cat here comes from a St. John's-area rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $150 to $500 and already include spay or neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip, versus roughly $1,000 to $3,000+ to buy a Grey Cat from a breeder. If you searched "grey cat for sale St. John's," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Grey Cat in St. John's, and should I?
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Grey Cat breeder typically charges $1,000 to $3,000+ and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Grey Cat costs $150 to $500 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap "for sale" ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or kitten-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the kittens were raised and getting vet records. For most St. John's families, adopting a rescue Grey Cat is cheaper, faster, and gives a cat in need a home.
