Hi sorry if this is posted in the wrong place - i'm a newbie so admin please feel free to move

We lost our cat last April - she was very special and very similiar to a Chartreux. We are aware that the Chartreux is not a registered breed in the UK or Ireland but we would like to find out if there is anyone breeding these?

Our cat had such a great personality(extremely loyal and very humanlike!!) and lookswise and personality wise the Chartreux seems similiar.

While there are breeders in France, there is of course the issue of quarantine.

If anyone can help we would really appreciate it, thanks

Hi

Just a quick one for you i have looked on the web on the usual sites that i check for what cats are for sale etc, and unfoortunatly no body seems to have any for sale at the moment. Web page pets4u is good, i would keep trying this. Hopefully someone on this site will be able to help you

good luck

I have never even heard of this breed but I hope you find what you are looking for!

If you were to import, I would imagine that you could do it through a pet passport??? That would mean you wouldn't get a kitten though.

Have you thought about other breeds? Like the Russian Blue?

I did a bit of googling for you & came across this.

The Garden of England Cat Club :: Chartreux

Hopefully the lady on there can at least point you in the direction of somewhere if you are really committed to the breed.

I've found a website for a UK breeder of Chartreux - they are in partnership with another cattery in Holland, and brought the first Chartreux to the UK. So they would be a good place to start, and could advise about importing if you wished to go down that route.

They are beautiful cats !!

They look like a mixture between a British Blue Shorthair and a Russian Blue to me so maybe one of them breeds would be easier to find?

Thanks for the replies everyone!!

Yes they are a beautiful breed but quite different to the British Blue and Russian Blue.

I will try all the suggestions given - thanks!

I would like a kitten as we already have 2 cats and while I'm pretty sure they will be pretty accommodating to a new arrival, sometimes it can be hit or miss with a new mature cat fitting in

Have PM'd you.

Just to show you a picture of my last cat. When we found her she was completely unsocialised and it took us ages to even get near enough to touch her. The perseverance was worth it though and we had her for many years
