Are Chartreux rare?

Yes, Chartreux cats are a rare breed. Their limited gene pool makes them less common than many other breeds. This scarcity is partly due to their carefully managed breeding programs, which aim to maintain the breed’s unique characteristics without compromising their health. As a result, finding a Chartreux can be challenging, and they are highly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate their distinctive blue-gray fur, striking copper or gold eyes, and gentle, affectionate nature.
