Adopting a white cat in Quebec

White is the third most common colouring recorded in Quebec rescue, ahead of tuxedo and orange. It ranges from cats that are entirely white to cats with a few coloured markings that the description still leads with as white.

In Quebec listings this colouring is usually written as « chat blanc », 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.

Two things worth asking about

Deafness is more common in white cats than in cats generally, particularly in white cats with blue eyes, and more so again when both eyes are blue. A deaf cat makes a perfectly good companion in an indoor home, which is the Quebec norm anyway, but it is worth knowing before you adopt rather than after. Ask the rescue directly whether the cat has been observed responding to sound.

A very pale coat also offers less protection from sun on ears and nose. That matters less for an indoor cat, but if yours will spend long stretches in a sunny window in summer, it is worth mentioning to your vet at the first visit rather than assuming an indoor cat has no exposure at all.

How many White Cats are available for adoption in Quebec?
As of September 2026, 132 White 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 White Cats above and apply directly through the rescue.
Where can I adopt a white cat near me in Quebec?
LocalPetFinder gathers adoptable white 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.
Are white cats often deaf?
More often than cats in general, and the association is strongest in white cats with blue eyes, especially when both eyes are blue. Plenty of white cats hear perfectly well. Ask the rescue whether anyone has noticed the cat responding to sound, since a foster living with the cat will usually know. A deaf cat does very well in the indoor home most Quebec rescues place cats into.
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 White Cat in Quebec?
Adopting a White 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.
