The Russian Blue 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 Russian Blue may simply be the closest match a rescue could give. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out.
Right now Russian Blues in Australia are listed by Animals in Need Brisbane, Australian Animal Protection Society, Sydney Dogs and Cats Home. 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.

Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Russian Blue here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a couple of hundred dollars, against often well over a thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "russian blue cat for sale", adopting gets you a vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
