Adopting a Chartreux

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Chartreux - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It typically costs $50 to $150 to adopt a Chartreux from a shelter or rescue organization. The adoption fee usually covers an initial exam, spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccines, and preventatives. Conversely, buying a Chartreux from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive, typically costing between $750 and $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Chartreux is through a shelter or cat-oriented rescue. Since they are a rarer breed,  you may need to expand your search range to find one to adopt. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. This will show you all the available Chartreux cats in your search radius.

Chartreux fun facts

Fun Facts:

One legend of this breed's origins is that it was bred at the Grande Chartreuse Monastery, and they selectively bred them for quiet, monastery-appropriate voices.

The Chartreux were street cats for centuries, prized for their rat-catching acumen -- a skill that persists in the breed today.

The development of the Chartreux began in earnest in France in the 1930s, when a pair of sisters became taken with the breed and began showing them around Paris. They weren't brought to the United States until the 1970s.
