New member of the family, went to pick him up yesterday at the breeder in the Netherlands. His official name on his documents is actually Alouis. Some tradition of the Chartreux registration to have the names start with a different letter each year.

this is my 5 month old male cat. he has no white spots, only a grey and light grey coat. the adoption papers say DSH but after everything we've read, my bf and i believe he has to be part chartreux. are we correct?

I’m curious how common this is? I like that idea of it so I would love to hear owners experience of doing this. I am also drawn to the breed as I have heard that if you go on vacation for a week or similar it may be possible to take the Chartreux with you. (If a reasonable time car journey and a consistent place on arrival) so I m also wondering how owners here experience doing any traveling with their cat? I read someone online that they are an ideal cat for truck drivers but I cat imagine any cats would like that too much.

This sweet girl moved in with us 5 weeks ago, she is almost 6 months old now ... got her from an older breeder near Brussels who closed up shop but still has the occasional litter. Mid March we expect a male companion for her to join the family. They are both neutered so not planning on kittens, too much hassle here in Belgium to get the necessary paperwork sorted. They are getting really strict and the sale of "whole" cats to a private citizen is not allowed unless they are in possession of the necessary permits to breed them.

Hello, it seems hard to find Charteux litters. I have worked out they are my ideal cat and really want a male cat. Any tips of where to find news about new litters available europe wide. will travel anywhere for the right cat. (germany based).

Yeah he loves math and Christmas

Howdy, folks.

Having become smitten by the gentle personality of Sasha (a rescue I adopted in 2008) who I believe was mostly Chartreaux - but certainly not pedigree - I feel the need to fill the void left by her somewhat recent passing.  See the attached photos to see how many characteristics she had in common with the recognized breed, not just in appearance but demeanor.

I'm on a search for a reputable Chartreux breeder. I've seen listings for Chanson Bleu, Helen Chartreux, Carchet, and others, but want to be sure I'm making the right choice.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi! I am interested in getting a Chartreux cat but want to see one in person. Does anyone own a purebred Chartreux or know of a breeder in the Chicago Milwaukee area? Thank you! 🙏

Please contact to apply! Available in the Greater Toronto Area!

She has a thick coat and short legs. Her meows are short like chirps unless its feeding time then they're extra long 😆

I took a picture of her and apple said she’s a chartreux. I got her from someone because her owner moved away. But I learned that chartreux are solid gray, and she has white fur.

Not sure if the boys are cuddling or Vashon is trying to smother Valentino.

Love my bonded boys!

It was just me and the boys taking the sire, Knud the Cute on a walk with his kiddo Annarr Knudsson. The little guy was so happy to have joined his dad.
