The Turkish Van is a sturdy, semi-longhaired cat known for its unique “van” pattern—white body with colored markings on the head and tail. Its large, expressive eyes can be blue, amber, or odd-eyed. The breed’s water-resistant coat and bushy tail are distinctive features.
With their semi-long, water-resistant coats, Turkish Vans require brushing a few times a week, especially during shedding season. Occasional baths help maintain their unique fur texture, and regular nail and ear care are essential.
Turkish Vans are energetic, playful, and affectionate. They are known for their love of water, enjoy interactive games with kids, and can get along with other pets if introduced gradually.
Turkish Vans are active and playful, thriving on daily exercise and games that involve water or climbing. Puzzle toys and training sessions help keep them mentally engaged.
