Adopting a white cat on PEI

A solid white coat is less common in rescue than black or tabby, so white cats appear on island listings in ones and twos rather than in numbers. White is a colour rather than a breed, and a white cat in PEI rescue is almost always an ordinary domestic cat.

Two questions come up more here than on any other colour page, and both deserve a straight answer rather than reassurance: hearing, and sun.

What to know before you adopt

Congenital deafness is genuinely more common in white cats, and more so again in white cats with blue eyes. It is a well-documented association rather than a certainty, and plenty of white cats hear perfectly. A deaf cat is an entirely adoptable cat in an indoor home, but it is something to know rather than discover: ask the shelter whether hearing has been checked, and expect to use vibration and line of sight to get its attention.

White ears and noses also sunburn, which matters for a cat that suns itself in a window as much as one outdoors, and repeated burning carries a skin cancer risk. That is one more reason island rescue keeps cats indoors, and a reason to think about which window the cat will claim.

How many White Cats are available for adoption in Prince Edward Island?▼
As of October 2026, 17 White Cats are available for adoption in Prince Edward Island across 1 rescue on LocalPetFinder. Listings update regularly as cats are adopted and new ones arrive — browse the current White Cats above and apply directly through the rescue.
Are all white cats deaf?▼
No. Deafness is more common in white cats and more common again when the eyes are blue, but many white cats hear normally. Ask the shelter whether the cat has been assessed. A deaf indoor cat lives a full life; it just needs you to get its attention by sight or vibration rather than by calling.
Do white cats need sun protection?▼
White ears and noses can burn, and repeated burning raises skin cancer risk over a cat’s life. It is worth thinking about even for an indoor cat that spends hours in a sunny window. Talk to your vet before applying anything to a cat, since many human sunscreens are not safe for them.
Where can I adopt a white cat on PEI?▼
Through the PEI Humane Society. Solid white cats come through less often than tabbies or black cats, so it is worth setting an alert rather than checking once. Each profile links straight to the shelter to apply.
How much does it cost to adopt a White Cat in Prince Edward Island?▼
Adopting a White Cat 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. 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.
