FAQs

How can I recognise if my cat is a Chartreux?

You can identify a Chartreux cat by its distinctive solid blue-grey coat that has a dense, medium-length, woolly texture. These cats have a medium-sized, muscular, rounded body often described as resembling a 'potato on toothpicks', with a round head and a narrow snout that gives the impression of a smile. Their eyes are round, bright, and typically golden to copper orange, standing out vividly against their grey fur. Chartreux cats are known for their calm, quiet, affectionate, and intelligent nature, being easy-going and moderately social without demanding excessive attention.

How much does a Chartreux cat cost in the UK?

In the UK, the cost of a Chartreux cat generally ranges from £500 to £1,500, with prices at the higher end for show-quality cats. The breed’s rarity and limited availability contribute to these prices, making them somewhat more expensive compared to more common breeds.

Why are Chartreux cats rare?

Chartreux cats are considered rare due to the limited number of specialized breeders, particularly outside their native France, and their long history as a treasured breed with strict naming and breeding conventions. This rarity results in fewer cats available, contributing to their higher prices and the challenge of finding them for sale.

Are Chartreux cats good pets?

Yes, Chartreux cats make excellent pets. They are loyal, loving, calm, and relatively quiet, which makes them ideal companions for families, including those with children and other pets. Their affectionate yet easy-going nature and moderate social needs make them well-suited for home life.
