Story
Studebaker is a sweetie looking for his forever home. Stud is approximately 4 years old. He is very loving and easy-going, hallmarks of the Chartreux breed. He is quick to trustr new people who show him kindness. He adores being pet, brushed and tender physical contact. He will "spoon" with you, give head bumps, purrs, and knead. Stud doesn't mind having his ears pet and doesn't mind having his toes or mouth touched. Stud enjoys the simple things like looking out the window and lounging. He would likely be okay with other cats as he's lived with several others before and has not reacted to them. But he would also do well having all the attention as an only cat in the home. He gets along with his foster's dog. Set up a visit with Studebaker and you may just find a steadfast companion.

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.
