Story
Grayson is looking for a new home! This boy is super affectionate and is looking for someone to share his love with. Grayson tested positive for FIV, but can live a normal, healthy life. According to the Humane Society of the US, "Cats with FIV often have similar life spans to cats without it: Studies conducted in 2010 and 2022 found that an FIV diagnosis wasn’t associated with decreased lifespans. In fact, cats can remain asymptomatic for years or even their entire lives." Read more about FIV: https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats Adoption fee: $175 (Includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, worming, and FeLV/FIV test - over $350 worth of veterinary care!) Go to www.ColumbusPetRescue.com to begin the adoption process today. We have invested time, money, and care into our feline friends and want to ensure they never have to be abandoned again.

Story
Luna is the most loving kitty. She is very smart and talkative. She loves our kids and patiently lets our special needs son boop her nose when he sees her. She is a year old now, born on St. Patrick’s day. Our daughter is unfortunately developing worsening allergies, so we can’t keep her and her kitty sister (Pearl- a silver rosette bengal) any longer, for the sake of our daughter’s health. Luna is very playful. We would like to see her kept together with Pearl if possible, but if not we understand. We just want them to go to a good home. They have been well loved in our home.

Story
Chiquita and her 5 kittens were found on the streets ,hungry and trying to survive.They are being cared for at an experienced foster home where they are receiving plenty of food and love. She and her kittens have been vaccinated and altered. She will be microchipped before going to her new family. Chiquita has been FIV /FeLV tested (-) and She is in good health. The vets office thought she could be a Russian Blue but we arent sure due to her eye color. Whatever breed this sweetheart is doesn’t really matter because she is beautiful, loving and deserves a wonderful home and family to spend the rest of her life with. If you are interested in making her a part of your family, please submit an application on our website, canaananimalsanctuary.org

Adopting a Chartreux

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Chartreux - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It typically costs $50 to $150 to adopt a Chartreux from a shelter or rescue organization. The adoption fee usually covers an initial exam, spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccines, and preventatives. Conversely, buying a Chartreux from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive, typically costing between $750 and $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Chartreux is through a shelter or cat-oriented rescue. Since they are a rarer breed,  you may need to expand your search range to find one to adopt. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. This will show you all the available Chartreux cats in your search radius.

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.
