The Most Unique Cat Names in Canada

Cat Names

At Rover, we like to celebrate what makes every cat unique. Maybe it’s unusual markings or an odd affinity for water that sets your cat apart from the rest. Whatever your cat’s quirks may be, we think he or she deserves a name that highlights their individuality.

Choosing a unique cat name can be a great conversation starter (“How’d you come up with that?”) Plus, it can showcase your personal interests and your affection for your pet. But where to start? Don’t fret—we know a thing or two about pet names, and we’re here to help.

We’ve consulted our huge database of Rover users in Canada to bring you the most creative and interesting names our community has to offer. We also took a look at some pet naming trends in a few other fun categories (bookworms and botanists, take note!) for your one-of-a-kind feline.

So use your imagination, have fun, and go with your gut. After all, you know your cat better than anyone else.

How to choose a unique cat name

There was a time when cat names were more straightforward and nonspecific. And while there’s no harm in going with a more classic choice like “Princess” or “Muffin,” today’s cat owners are finding name inspiration in some of the most unlikely places. With nods to pop culture, history, and even food, unique cat names are gaining traction in Canada—a trend we can definitely get behind!

To brainstorm unique names for your cat, first consider his personality. Is he a spirited Hermes or a mellow Angus? What about a bold Scarlett or a sweet Cosette? Think about your cat’s habits and general disposition, and you’ll be on your way to a great name.

Cat owners nationwide are also turning to their own interests and hobbies for naming inspiration. Think about your favourite foods, characters, colours, and musicians to find the perfect gray cat name. Yes, that means that everything from Dorian Gray to Zelda is on the table. 

You know your cat better than anyone else. So get those creative juices flowing, and give your special kitty a name that’s as remarkable as she is!

Need Cat Sitting?

Cats may seem more independent than dogs, but they still need attention, play, and treats when you’re gone. Your great cat deserves great cat care. You’ve found the best cat name, so now it’s time to find them the perfect cat sitter with Rover.

Find your cat’s perfect match, right from your phone—and then hit the road happy.
