Welcome to the

The CTVCA was formed in July 1993 by a group of Turkish Van Breeders and exhibitors, concerned about the future of this beautiful cat.  Since that time we have grown to become the largest single-breed club representing the Turkish Van, with a membership in excess of 250.   more...

The club prides itself on its welfare and rescue operations, and in 2005 we rehomed 5 Turks, each after a short stay at our own rescue centre, the Vanessa Homes.   more...

The club produces two magazines each year, which are sent to every member.  Vantasia contains 50+ pages including many interesting, fun, and informative articles by fellow club members.   more...
