Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cat InformationPolly is the oldest cat we have at 18yo. She has had an amazing journey which we have published a children's story book on. Polly was lost in 2016 and found in 2022. We were able to get information on the owner and original shelter who adopted Polly out as she had a microchip. Unfortunately, the owner who was an international student in 2016 had returned to China. We agreed to take Polly after approaching the original rescue and they did not want to take back Polly. If you would like to give Polly a great home in her golden years, please stop by to meet with her! She is better as an only cat.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2024, 7:45 pm

Adopting a Turkish Van

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

It costs around $50 to $150 to adopt a Turkish Van. This adoption fee typically covers an initial exam, preventatives, vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy a Turkish Van from a breeder. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $600 to $1,200.

The easiest way to adopt a Turkish Van is through a rescue that specializes in Turkish Vans or a cat-specific rescue. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Turkish Vans in your search radius.

Fun Facts:

Turkish Vans are one of the oldest cat breeds, and could even be the oldest -- possibly dating as far back as 5,000 years.

Turkish Vans are quite rare in the United States -- most of the breeding stock comes from Europe, as the native population that survives in Turkey today is protected.
