Introduction
Our road to finding the Turkish Van breed was quite by accident: In
1982, I decided I wanted a mackerel tabby cat to take the place of one that
had recently passed away. A rule was in place: there would never be only
one kitten (least it bug the older cats terrifically). At a pet shop in
Seattle, two littermates were selected - a tabby kitten which named Loki,
and a white kitten with auburn markings on the head and tail, and named
Bastet.
In 1985, I discovered a breed of cat that resembled Bastet -
the Turkish Vans - and started investigating the breed. While researching
the Vans, I moved to a farm. Bastet was lost shortly after
moving, and I was heartbroken. Friends found a nearly identical cat, but
it wasn't the same. In 1992, a real Turkish Van was purchased, a female
kitten from Doug Williams and Carol, named SummitSprings Ani.
