Turkish Van cat (Confirm introduction)
They have appeared around Lake Van in eastern Turkey. Because the species' numbers have shrunk, Turkish authorities have legislated to protect Van cats and Turkish Angora cats, which are bred at the Ankara Zoo. The genius traits of modern Van cats are still the same as their ancestors, and conservation programs are studying how to preserve their special communication and sincerity.
According to statistics, in the late 1990s, there were only 32 Turkish Van cats in the Van Lake area of Turkey. However, with the changes in society, the Turkish Van cat is shrinking day by day. Urbanization has caused a large number of residents to move from courtyards to apartment floors, making it increasingly inconvenient for ordinary households to keep cats. The Turkish Van Cat protection regulations that Turkey has continuously issued have increased the risks of Turkish Van cat breeding. As a result, Turkish Van cats gradually withdrew from ordinary households. Since the 1990s, Turkish Van cats have only appeared among members of the British royal family. The Queen of England has a male Turkish Van cat.
Therefore, the number of Turkish Van cats has dropped sharply. And the price is soaring as the number of Turkish Van cats increases. Purchasing a purebred Turkish Van cat often troubles all Turkish Van cat lovers. On the local cat selling website in Turkey, in the 1980s, the lowest price of a Turkish Van cat was US$50,000; in the 1990s, it had risen to US$300,000; around 2000, the price of a Turkish Van cat had risen to 1 million U.S. dollars; in 2011, the price of the Turkish Van Cat has reached 8 million U.S. dollars. Moreover, due to Turkish law, it is determined that it cannot be sent overseas, and a lot of intangible costs have been reduced to reach the buyers. The excessively high price once made the Turkish Van cat farther and farther away from the general pet lovers.
