Ozturk Turkish Van Cats & Kittens
Turkish Van Cat Breeder - Adelaide, SA
I'm a small micro breeder and Turkish Van enthusiast.
I adopted my first Turkish Van in the 90's and have been besotted ever since.
The health, happiness and welfare of my cats and kittens is my upmost priority.
They are playful, loving and socialised.
My cats have the full run of my home plus have access to a large, fully netted outdoor enclosure.
However, they are usually found lounging or asleep on my bed.
I enjoy showing and promoting my loved but very rare cats.
It's important that my cats conform to and achieve their breed standards.
If you see us here in Adelaide, please come up and say hi.
I'm always happy to talk about Turkish Vans and to introduce you to my cats.

Our standards & practices
Health testing & screening
Question. Do you health test in accordance with the current standards and recommended guidelines for your breed? Can you demonstrate your knowledge of any required DNA or other health related test results concerning your breed (if applicable).
Answer. Yes.Pedigree Turkish Vans are not predisposed to inherited medical issues, dental issues or obesity.
However, as with all felines, diet and environment will heavily factor into this.
We've been with our family veterinarian for over twenty years.
Annual visits with health checks, dental checks and vaccinations.
And I also utilise the services of a breeders' veterinary surgery.
Preparation & socialisation
Question. Do you ensure that your kittens are appropriately socialised? Please provide details about how you raise your kittens to ensure that their environmental and social needs are met, that they are suitable as pets. And, do you ensure that the new family understands and is equipped to continue this socialisation?
Answer. Yes.My girls have their litters in my bedroom, I like to easily be able to check on them.
They remain in my bedroom, safe in a covered crate with a puppy fence to keep them contained.
My girls can take breaks and freely wander around inside when they need .
Their kittens are a lively, rambunctious bunch, into everything, love exploring and playing.
When older, they easily mix with all the cats, often pushing their boundaries.
They love their cuddles and do sleep on my bed.
They are well handled and used to being picked up and carried.
They're all purry little Vans
