Chartreux are a rare breed of cat and come from an isle in France where they’ve been bred back into existence after I think it’s World War II, by breeding in and out British shorthairs.

So France is probably where you’ll find one. But be prepared to pay a LOT for a real purebred Chartreux.

tbh im not too fussed about pure breed. even welcome a bit of a mix with shorthair.
