Whitney Veterinary Hospital and
Cat Care Clinic

This is a tolerant breed, preferring to observe what’s going on rather than joining in. It will withdraw from conflicts if given an opportunity. Its history can be traced to France in the 1700s, where it became known as the cat of France. It nearly became extinct during World War II, however, it was saved by crossing a few survivors with blue Persians.

The Chartreux is a stocky, short-legged cat with a dense coat. It matures late into a big, powerful hunter with a broad head, slate gray fur and gold or copper eyes. Its adult weight will be between 10 and 15 pounds.
