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 — Newfoundland and Labrador
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.
