Adopting a Russian Blue in Newfoundland
The Russian Blue is a quiet, elegant shorthair with a dense silvery-blue double coat and green eyes, originally from the port of Arkhangelsk in northern Russia. The breed is reserved rather than aloof: devoted to its own household, cautious with visitors, and notably sensitive to noise and disruption.
Purebred Russian Blues are rare in Newfoundland rescue, and most cats that get identified as one are simply solid grey Domestic Shorthairs, which is no bad thing. This page gathers any adoptable Russian Blue and Russian Blue-type cat from the NL shelters we cover into one place, refreshed regularly.
What to know before you adopt
These are calm, clean, low-drama cats that suit a quiet home. They bond closely with one or two people and often disappear when the house fills with visitors, so a busy household with young children is not their natural setting. They also dislike changes in routine, which is worth knowing when you plan the first few weeks after adoption: a quiet room, a predictable feeding schedule, and no rush.
The dense double coat sheds moderately and needs only weekly brushing, and it copes very comfortably with a cold Newfoundland house. Some people with mild cat allergies report tolerating the breed better than others, though no cat is truly hypoallergenic. Indoor living is the local norm given winters, roads, and island coyotes, and it suits a cautious cat well.

Russian Blue Adoption FAQ — Newfoundland and Labrador
Where can I adopt a Russian Blue near me in St. John's?
LocalPetFinder lists any adoptable Russian Blue and Russian Blue-type cats from Newfoundland rescue, led by the City of St. John's Humane Services. Purebreds are rare here, so plush solid grey shorthairs are the realistic option and are common in NL shelters. Listings refresh regularly.
Are Russian Blues hypoallergenic?
Not truly, since no cat is. Some allergy sufferers report tolerating the breed better, possibly because the dense coat traps dander closer to the skin, but the effect varies enormously between people. If allergies are the reason you are choosing the breed, spend real time with the individual cat before committing.
Are Russian Blues good with children?
They tend to prefer calm homes. The breed is gentle but reserved and dislikes noise, sudden handling, and disrupted routines, so a household with very young children is often a poor match. Older, quieter children who let a cat come to them on its own terms usually get along with them very well.
