Hi i would like to get involved with other van lovers

I love Turkish Van cats .... They have the most wonderful affectionate and playful characters. I would very much like to buy a kitten and provide it with a loving caring home... Hopefully someone can let us know where we can purchase one .

We have recently adopted a cat from a rescue centre and when we were researching cats for a school project found some pics and info on Turkish Vans - sound a lot like our boy and looks very similar too![img][img][/img][/img]

Hi, love your site!

I am getting 2 Turkish Van cats tomorrow (just pets), so checked out your site. It's beautiful!

Have rescued this adorable kitten from the jaws of a Jack Russell. He was 4 weeks old, the rest of the litter were dead. I have been trying to find out what he is, I don't know if it is possible - but his markings, body build, intelligence, love of water have made me wonder if he may be a Van. He is 8 weeks now, can jump so high, you can see his muscle tone, he has longer legs at the back than the front, his face is changing, his cheeks are prominent. Can you help please? How do I send a photo?[img][/img]

We were blessed to rescue an abandoned and injured Van mix kitten on the 4th of July this year. She had a broken leg and was nearly starved to death! Poor little thing! She is the most sweetest and loving cat we have ever owned. I didn't even know what a Van cat was, until we found her. I was so impressed by her personality that I began investigating what kind of cat she may be. She is almost all white, with the half butterfly marking in black on her head, a solid black tail, and a few circles of black on her all white body. She follows me around everywhere, picks up little things and carries them around with her. She is worth every cent that it cost to nurse her back to health, and I feel blessed that she found me!

i don't know if any of your members remember miss svm douglas of greenfieild turkish van ...i would just like to pass on the sad news she has past away 7th august

Just stumbled across this page.
We got our Turkish Van around 3 months ago but only found out he was a Turkish Van about 1.5/2 months ago thanks to my Mum.
As a kitten and a Turkish Van our little man is very active and sometimes a bit hard to handle. I am actively looking for ways to keep him entertained and encourage him away from "bad " behaviours. Anyone who has any tips or information on good resources it would be greatly appreciated!

I work at my local hospital to be told that someone had dumped a kitten in the bin area, this is full of waste from wards, clinic bins and condemned items of furniture. As my daughter and my self have rescue cats we went to investigate and there he was in a very bad state but not approachable. We borrowed a trap from cat protection and after a few hours we had him safely inside. We spent a lot of time with him before we could touch him, then he was cleaned up and neutered. We recently found out hes a van as he has grown into a beauty who is now 9 months old and loving. Their cruelty is my gain i would never part with him and my dog and him are best friends. Who ever did that to him should be banned for life having animals.
