Kittens get adopted fast, so this page changes often. It pulls the kittens and young cats currently adoptable in Montreal from Animatch, Montreal SPCA, Proanima, SPCA Laurentides-Labelle, Gerdy's Rescues and Adoptions, Rescue All Dogs, Passion for Paws, and Rosie Animal Adoption into one place, refreshed regularly. If you do not see one today, check back, as rescue kittens cycle through quickly, and adoption season peaks in spring and summer.
Two-kitten adoptions are often the easier choice, not the harder one: a pair keeps each other company, burns energy together, and tends to settle faster than a single kitten alone all day. Many Montreal rescues encourage adopting kittens in pairs for exactly this reason. Apply through the rescue; LocalPetFinder is a free aggregator.

Kittens in Montreal: common questions
How many kittens are available for adoption in Montreal?
As of August 2026, 30 kittens are available for adoption in Montreal across 5 rescues on LocalPetFinder. Listings update regularly as pets are adopted and new ones arrive — browse them above and apply directly through the rescue.
Should I adopt one kitten or two?
Two is often easier than one, despite sounding like more work. A pair of kittens keeps each other company while you are out, plays and burns energy together, and usually settles faster and gets into less trouble than a single bored kitten. Many rescues actively encourage adopting kittens in pairs, and some will only place a solo kitten into a home with an existing young cat.
How much are rescue kittens in Montreal?
Kitten adoption fees in Montreal typically run about $150 to $400, usually including the first vaccines, deworming, a microchip, a spay or neuter (or a contract to do it once old enough), and often a FeLV/FIV test. That is a fraction of buying from a breeder, and the fee goes back into the rescue's care for the next litter.
How do I adopt one of these cats in Montreal?
Find a cat you like here, then apply directly through the rescue that has it (Animatch, Montreal SPCA, Proanima, SPCA Laurentides-Labelle, Gerdy's Rescues and Adoptions, Rescue All Dogs, Passion for Paws, and Rosie Animal Adoption). LocalPetFinder is a listings aggregator, not a shelter: we pull adoptable cats from Montreal-area rescues into one place and refresh them regularly, but the application and adoption happen through the rescue. Listings reflect what is genuinely available, though a cat can be adopted between refreshes.
Are these kittens for sale in Montreal?
Not for sale, for adoption, and for most people that is the better deal. Every cat listed here comes from a Montreal-area rescue or shelter rather than a breeder, pet store or classified seller. The adoption fee is typically a few hundred dollars and already covers spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming and a microchip, which on their own would usually cost more than the fee. If you searched "kittens for sale montreal", this is the same search done a cheaper way, with a cat someone has already examined and can tell you about.
Where can I buy a kitten in Montreal, and should I?
You can buy from a registered breeder, and it is worth pricing against adoption before you do. A breeder kitten generally runs well into four figures and often comes with a waitlist, while a rescue cat costs $150 to $500 fully vetted and may be available this week. The listings to be careful with are the cheap ones on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or kitten-mill resellers moving unvetted animals with no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the litter was raised and getting vet records.
Are there free kittens in Montreal, or kittens under $500?
Adoption is the closest honest answer and it is not free. A rescue cat in Montreal typically costs $100 to $300, with kittens at $200 to $400, comfortably under the "$500" people search for. The fee already covers medical work worth considerably more. Genuinely free listings deserve suspicion: a cat advertised free to a good home has usually not been vetted, and free rehoming ads are the route flippers and unregistered breeders use to move animals with no recourse for the buyer. Reduced-fee events, sponsored long-stay cats and senior discounts are the legitimate ways the price comes down.
Where can I find kittens near me in Montreal?
Start with the listings on this page, which pull from Montreal rescues and shelters and refresh regularly, so what you see is genuinely available rather than a directory that went stale months ago. If nothing suits today, check back or set an alert, because kittens in particular move fast and the list turns over. It is also worth widening slightly beyond the city, since most rescues serving Montreal will adopt across a reasonable driving distance rather than only within municipal limits.
