What are Chartreux cats like?
Chartreux cats are a rare breed from France, known for their water repellent fur and capacity as hunters. Weighing up to 14 pounds and up to 18 inches in length, they are an above average sized cat with oversized paws. Their coats are short to medium with a slightly woolly texture. Registered Chartreux breeders will have kittens for sale with blue/gray fur.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
