Adopting a grey cat in Quebec
Grey cats, sometimes listed as blue, are the second most common colouring in Quebec rescue after black. The shade runs from a pale silver to a deep slate, and it appears in solid coats as well as in tabby patterning, so two cats both described as grey can look quite different from one another.
In Quebec listings this colouring is usually written as « chat gris », 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.
If you came here looking for a Russian Blue
A lot of people arrive at this page with a Russian Blue or a British Shorthair in mind. Those pedigrees are essentially absent from Quebec rescue, as pedigrees generally are, so waiting for one to appear is not a plan. A grey domestic shorthair gives you the look with the hardiness of mixed ancestry and without a waitlist or a breeder price.
If the pedigree itself genuinely matters to you rather than the appearance, a breed-specific rescue elsewhere in Canada is the honest route. If it is the silver-grey coat you want, this list is where to look, and the cats on it can be described to you in detail by someone who has lived with them.

Grey Cat Adoption FAQ — Quebec City
How many Grey Cats are available for adoption in Quebec City?
As of October 2026, Grey Cats are rare in Quebec City rescue — only 3 are listed right now across 2 rescues on LocalPetFinder. They tend to get adopted fast, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to find one.
Where can I adopt a grey cat near me in Quebec?
LocalPetFinder gathers adoptable grey cats 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.
Is a grey cat the same as a Russian Blue?
No. Russian Blue is a pedigree breed with a specific build and a dense double coat; grey is simply a colour that appears across ordinary domestic cats. Almost every grey cat in Quebec rescue is a domestic shorthair. They are not lesser for it: mixed ancestry tends to mean fewer inherited health problems and a longer life.
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 Grey Cat in Quebec City?
Adopting a Grey Cat in Quebec City 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.
Are these Grey Cat cats for sale in Quebec City?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Grey Cat here comes from a Quebec City rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $150 to $500 and already include vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter when age-appropriate, versus roughly well over $1,000 to buy a Grey Cat from a breeder. If you searched "grey cat for sale quebec city" or "grey cat kittens for sale," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Grey Cat in Quebec City, and should I?
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Grey Cat breeder typically charges well over $1,000 and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Grey Cat costs $150 to $500 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap grey cat-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 families in Quebec City, adopting a rescue Grey Cat is cheaper, faster, and gives a cat in need a home.
Are there free Grey Cat cats in Quebec City, or grey cats under $500?
Adoption is the closest honest answer, and it is not free. A rescue Grey Cat in Quebec City typically costs $150 to $500. What the fee buys is work already done, the vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter, which would cost more than the fee itself if you arranged it yourself, and it is still far below breeder prices. Be wary of genuinely free grey cat listings. An animal 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 health guarantee and no recourse. Paying a rescue fee buys you a cat someone has already examined, treated, and been honest with you about.
Are there Grey Cat kittens in Quebec City, or only adults?
Both, but adults far outnumber kittens, and it is worth knowing that before you start looking. Most Grey Cats arriving in Quebec City rescue are adolescents and adults, because that is the age at which first homes tend to give up. Kittens do come through, usually as accidental litters or with a surrendered mother, and they are typically spoken for quickly. Setting an alert beats refreshing the page. It is also worth asking whether you actually want one: an adult arrives with a temperament a foster has already observed and described, where a Grey Cat kitten is a prediction, and for this breed in particular knowing what you are getting is the more useful thing.
Where can I find a Grey Cat near me in Quebec City?
Start with the listings on this page, which pull from Quebec City rescues and shelters and are refreshed regularly, so what you see is what is genuinely available rather than a stale directory. If nothing suits today, that is normal for this breed: rescue intake is intermittent rather than steady, and a breed with none listed this week often has several next month. Setting an alert beats checking back, and it is worth widening to nearby towns, since most rescues serving Quebec City will adopt out across a reasonable driving distance rather than only inside one municipality.
