Russian Blues in PEI rescue

Most people arriving at this page have seen a grey cat and wondered whether it is a Russian Blue. Almost always it is not. Grey is a common colour in ordinary domestic cats, the Russian Blue is a rare pedigree in Canadian rescue generally, and rarer again on an island served by one shelter.

That is not a disappointment. A grey domestic shorthair is a healthier cat on average and costs a shelter fee rather than a breeder price, and the grey cat page has far more of them.

What distinguishes the breed

A true Russian Blue has a dense double coat with silver-tipped guard hairs that give the coat a sheen, vivid green eyes in adulthood, and a reserved temperament that takes time to warm to strangers. A grey domestic cat may have any of those individually and will not have papers.

The breed is generally regarded as healthy, with no single dominant inherited condition, which is one reason the label gets attached optimistically. Judge any individual cat on its own history rather than on the name in the listing.

Russian Blue Adoption FAQ — Prince Edward Island

Tap a question to expand

How many Russian Blues are available for adoption in Prince Edward Island?▼
As of October 2026, there are no Russian Blues listed in Prince Edward Island rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Russian Blues 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 Russian Blue mix.
Is my grey cat a Russian Blue?▼
Probably not. Without pedigree papers a grey cat is a grey domestic cat. Russian Blues are uncommon in Canadian rescue, and grey is one of the more ordinary coat colours in the general cat population.
Are Russian Blues good for allergy sufferers?▼
Not reliably. The claim circulates widely, but no cat breed is genuinely hypoallergenic. Reactions are to a protein in saliva and skin secretions, not to hair, and they vary far more between individual cats than between breeds. Spend time with a specific cat before deciding.
Where can I adopt a grey cat on PEI?▼
Through the PEI Humane Society. If the appeal is the colour rather than the pedigree, the grey cat page lists what is actually available on the island, and each profile links to the shelter to apply.
How much does it cost to adopt a Russian Blue in Prince Edward Island?▼
Adopting a Russian Blue in Prince Edward Island 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. 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.
