Adopting a Tuxedo in St. John's
The Tuxedo is a coat pattern rather than a breed: the crisp black-and-white markings, dark coat with a white chest, belly, and paws, that look like a cat dressed for a formal occasion. Tuxedo cats are usually Domestic Shorthairs and turn up often in Newfoundland rescue, so the dapper look is an easy one to find at the City of St. John's Humane Services. This page gathers adoptable Tuxedo cats from the NL shelters we cover into one place, refreshed regularly.
As with any pattern, the markings tell you nothing about personality, which the shelter can describe from having lived with the cat. Search by the tuxedo look if it appeals, then choose on temperament.
What to know before you adopt
A Tuxedo is a Domestic Shorthair in a particularly smart coat, so it brings all the usual mixed-cat advantages: hardy health, hybrid vigour, a long life, and a personality the shelter already knows. Tuxedo cats have a fond folk reputation for being playful, clever, and a little mischievous, though that, like all coat-based personality lore, is charm rather than genetics.
Care is straightforward: occasional brushing, daily play, and an indoor home, which is the Newfoundland norm given cold winters, busy roads, and island coyotes. A Tuxedo with a window to watch and some vertical space is a content, low-maintenance companion. Choose the cat whose personality suits your household and enjoy the formalwear.

Is a Tuxedo a breed of cat?
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.
Are tuxedo cats a particular personality?
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.
How much does it cost to adopt a Tuxedo Cat in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Adopting a Tuxedo Cat in Newfoundland and Labrador 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. 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.
