About Greys

The Grey is a medium-sized cat with a short coat. With rescue cats the individual matters more than the label. Temperament, age and history tell you far more than the breed name on the card, and many rescue cats are moggies rather than pedigrees.

Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a cat listed as a Grey may simply be the closest match a rescue could give. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out.

How adoption works

Greys in Australia are listed by a range of rescues and shelters. Applications, home checks and adoption decisions are handled by the rescue directly. LocalPetFinder brings the listings together so you do not have to check each rescue separately, and does not take a fee.

Grey cat adoption in Australia: common questions

How many Greys are available for adoption in Australia?

As of October 2026, 26 Greys are available for adoption in Australia across 19 rescues on LocalPetFinder. Listings are refreshed regularly as cats are adopted and new ones arrive, browse the current Greys above and apply directly through the rescue.

Where can I adopt a Grey cat near me in Australia?

LocalPetFinder lists Greys available for adoption from rescues right across Australia, in Australia. Every listing links straight to the rescue that has the cat, and the application is handled by them, not by us.

Are these Grey cats for sale in Australia?

Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Grey here comes from an Australian rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet shop, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $150 to $500 and already include vaccinations, worming, microchipping and desexing when age-appropriate, versus roughly $1,000 to $3,000 or more to buy a Grey from a breeder. If you searched "grey for sale australia" or "grey kittens for sale", adopting gets you a healthy, vetted cat for a fraction of the price.

Where can I buy a Grey in Australia, and should I?

You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Grey breeder typically charges $1,000 to $3,000 or more and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Grey costs $150 to $500 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap grey-for-sale ads on Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace, which are frequently backyard breeders or kitten-farm 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, and check the breeder against your state's pet-sale rules. For most families in Australia, adopting a rescue Grey is cheaper, faster, and gives a cat in need a home.

Are there free Grey cats in Australia, or greys under $500?

Adoption is the closest honest answer, and it is not free. A rescue Grey in Australia typically costs $150 to $500. What the fee buys is work already done, the vaccinations, worming, microchipping and desexing, 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 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 kittens in Australia, or only adults?

Both, but adults far outnumber kittens, and it is worth knowing that before you start looking. Most Greys arriving in Australia 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 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 near me in Australia?

Start with the listings on this page, which pull from Australia 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 suburbs and towns, since most rescues serving Australia will adopt out across a reasonable driving distance rather than only inside one council area.

Need to rehome your Grey cat?

If you are on the other side of this page and need to find your grey cat a new home, you can list them free on LocalPetFinder, owner to owner. Keep your cat at home until you choose the new family, and follow our guides on fair pricing, screening adopters and meeting safely.
