Is my kitten a Turkish Van?

Hello all,

I just joined the forums and I know this question is asked quite often. The chances are obviously very slim since I got this kitten from foster, but I was told that she was a Turkish van/mix.

She has a van pattern (many shelters/rescues will call any van patterned cat a Turkish Van mix), but the chances of her having any actual Turkish Van in her are slim. She's a cutie anyway!

Thanks for the reply! This is exactly what I was thinking, so I'm not disappointed at all! She is still equally as cute to me (and lovable). Do you think she could have any of the Van's genes? She has a very thick tail already and the very very soft coat.

Kitty has a number of physical traits of a Turkish Van.

If you are fostering her, I would still suggest providing a link to Karen's web site at

Lots of info their and cute images of "Van a Likes". Her new family might find the similarities enough to call her a "Van A Like".
