Adopting a tuxedo in Quebec
A tuxedo is a black cat with white markings on the chest, face and paws. It is one of the few patterns people search for by name rather than by breed, and it appears across shorthaired and longhaired domestic cats alike.
In Quebec listings this colouring is usually written as « chat smoking », which is worth knowing if you are searching a shelter's own site. Most of the cats on this page come from Montreal organizations, simply because they are the ones that describe a cat's markings in writing; several Quebec shelters list a cat with no physical description at all. If this list looks short, browse the full Quebec cat listings rather than concluding these cats are not available elsewhere in the province.
A marking, not a lineage
The tuxedo pattern comes from a white-spotting gene laid over a black coat, and it says nothing about ancestry. A tuxedo cat is a domestic shorthair or longhair that happens to be marked that way, which is why you will find them at every Quebec rescue rather than through any breeder.
The markings vary enormously and no two are alike: some cats have a neat bib and four white socks, others a single white whisker or an off-centre blaze. If you are searching for a particular look, it is worth opening several profiles rather than filtering and stopping, because the label covers a very wide range.

Tuxedo Adoption FAQ — Montreal
How many Tuxedos are available for adoption in Montreal?
As of August 2026, there are no Tuxedos listed in Montreal rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Tuxedos 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 Tuxedo mix.
Where can I adopt a tuxedo near me in Quebec?
LocalPetFinder gathers adoptable tuxedos from the Quebec rescue organizations we cover, most of them Montreal-area, into one list. Listings refresh regularly and each profile links straight to the organization so you apply directly with them. Colour comes from each rescue's own description, so it is worth checking the full Quebec listings too.
Are tuxedo cats a breed?
No. Tuxedo describes a black-and-white marking pattern that occurs across ordinary domestic cats. There is no tuxedo breed, no tuxedo standard, and no reliable link between the pattern and temperament. What shapes a cat is early handling and experience, which a foster can describe from having lived with it.
Why do fewer cats show a colour than a breed?
Because colour is not a field most shelters fill in. We read it from the written description, so a cat whose write-up never mentions its markings will not appear on a colour page even though it may well be that colour. Several Quebec shelters publish no physical description at all, and a few publish no description whatsoever, so their cats are under-represented on these pages. A short list is a limit of the source listings, not a shortage of cats.
How much does it cost to adopt a Tuxedo in Montreal?
Adopting a Tuxedo in Montreal 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. 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.
Are these Tuxedo cats for sale in Montreal?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Tuxedo here comes from a Montreal-area rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $150 to $500 and already include spay or neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip, versus roughly $1,000 to $3,000+ to buy a Tuxedo from a breeder. If you searched "tuxedo for sale Montreal," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Tuxedo in Montreal, and should I?
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Tuxedo breeder typically charges $1,000 to $3,000+ and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Tuxedo costs $150 to $500 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap "for sale" ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or kitten-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the kittens were raised and getting vet records. For most Montreal families, adopting a rescue Tuxedo is cheaper, faster, and gives a cat in need a home.
