Buying a Chartreux
Buying a Chartreux is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of personality does a Chartreux cat typically have?
They are usually quiet, observant cats with a calm but playful nature. Many form a strong bond with one person, follow them from room to room, and communicate more with looks and body language than with meowing. They tend to be adaptable and polite rather than demanding.
Are Chartreux cats really quiet and less vocal than other breeds?
Yes, they are known for being unusually soft‑spoken and often described as having a tiny or infrequent voice. Many prefer to communicate through eye contact, chirps or silent “meows.” This quieter nature can be appealing in apartments but may surprise people used to very talkative cats.
How much grooming does a Chartreux’s blue double coat need?
Their dense, woolly coat benefits from a gentle brushing once or twice a week most of the year, and a bit more during seasonal shedding. The fur tends not to mat badly but can trap loose hair if neglected. Regular brushing also helps maintain the coat’s plush texture and reduces hair on furniture.
Are Chartreux cats good for people with allergies?
They are not hypoallergenic, but some allergy sufferers report milder reactions compared with longhaired or very high‑shedding breeds. Their short, dense coat sheds in bursts rather than constantly, which can help if combined with regular cleaning and grooming. Anyone with allergies should spend time with the breed before committing.
Do Chartreux cats get along well with children and other pets?
They are generally patient, tolerant cats that can do well with respectful children and calm dogs. Their playful yet gentle style often suits multi‑pet homes, provided introductions are slow. As a more reserved breed, they appreciate having quiet spaces to retreat to when they need a break.
How active are Chartreux cats and what kind of exercise do they need?
They tend to be moderately active, enjoying short, focused play sessions rather than constant motion. Many are skilled jumpers and like vertical spaces, puzzle toys and interactive play that engages their hunting instincts. Daily playtime is usually enough to keep them fit and mentally stimulated.
Are Chartreux cats prone to any specific health issues?
Overall they are considered a relatively robust natural breed, but breeders monitor for conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and some joint problems. Like many solidly built cats, they can be prone to weight gain if overfed or under‑exercised. Regular veterinary checks and weight control are important for long‑term health.
Is a Chartreux a good choice for apartment living or a busy city household?
Their quiet nature, moderate energy level and adaptability make them well suited to apartments. They usually cope well with indoor‑only living if they have climbing options, window views and daily interaction. They appreciate human company, so long hours alone every day may not be ideal without another pet for companionship.
How can I tell a Chartreux from a British Shorthair or Russian Blue?
This breed typically has a muscular, somewhat pear‑shaped body, a rounded but not flat face and vivid copper to gold eyes. The coat is a medium blue‑gray with a slightly woolly texture rather than sleek or plush in the same way as other blue breeds. Pedigree papers and a reputable breeder are the only reliable confirmation of ancestry.
Do Chartreux kittens keep their eye color and coat shade as they grow?
Kittens are born with lighter, often gray‑blue eyes that gradually turn yellow, gold or copper over the first year or two. Their coat may start out softer and paler, then deepen slightly in color and gain the characteristic dense, resilient texture with maturity. Full development of both coat and eye color can take up to three years.
