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.

How many Grey Cats are available for adoption in Quebec?▼
As of September 2026, 81 Grey Cats are available for adoption in Quebec across 8 rescues on LocalPetFinder. Listings update regularly as cats are adopted and new ones arrive — browse the current Grey Cats above and apply directly through the rescue.
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?▼
Adopting a Grey Cat in Quebec 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. 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.
