History and Origins
The Turkish Angora is one of the oldest natural cat breeds, originating from the Ankara region in Turkey. Esteemed for its elegance and luxurious white coat, the breed has a storied history that dates back to the 15th century. Initially prized in its native land for its beauty and grace, the Turkish Angora became a symbol of nobility and refinement across Europe. The breed nearly faced extinction in the 20th century but was revitalized through dedicated breeding programs. Today, the Turkish Angora is celebrated worldwide, not just for its striking appearance but also for its rich heritage.

Personality
Turkish Angora cats are renowned for their vibrant, outgoing personalities. They are highly intelligent, curious, and enjoy being the center of attention, often performing antics to delight their human companions. Despite their aristocratic appearance, Angoras are playful and adventurous, showing affection openly and forming strong bonds with their families. They are sociable creatures that do well with children and other pets, making them excellent family companions. Their vocal nature allows them to communicate their needs and desires clearly.

Nutrition and Feeding
A balanced diet is crucial for the health of a Turkish Angora. High-quality cat food that provides a mix of proteins, vitamins, and minerals will support their active lifestyle and maintain their sleek physique. It's important to monitor their food intake to prevent overeating, as obesity can lead to health issues. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times. Consulting with a veterinarian can help tailor a nutrition plan specific to your cat's needs, taking into account age, weight, and activity level.

Grooming and Care
The Turkish Angora's silky coat requires regular grooming to maintain its luster and prevent mats. Weekly brushing is typically sufficient to keep their fur in excellent condition, although more frequent grooming may be necessary during shedding seasons. Their ears should be checked and cleaned regularly to prevent wax build-up, and nail trimming is also important. Despite their long fur, Turkish Angoras are relatively low maintenance compared to other long-haired breeds.

Specific Needs
While Turkish Angoras are generally healthy, they are predisposed to certain genetic conditions, including deafness, particularly in white-coated individuals with blue eyes. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to catch any health concerns early. They are also known for their love of high places, so providing safe climbing opportunities will help satisfy their natural instincts and keep them entertained.

Training
Turkish Angoras are receptive to training due to their intelligence and desire to interact with their human companions. They can be taught to perform tricks, use a scratching post, and even walk on a leash with the right encouragement and patience. Early socialization is beneficial for their development, exposing them to various people, environments, and experiences to help them grow into well-adjusted adults.

Need to Know
Prospective Turkish Angora cat owners should be aware of the breed's energetic and affectionate nature. They thrive on attention and companionship, making them ideal for families and individuals alike. Understanding their grooming needs, health predispositions, and providing them with a stimulating environment are key to their well-being. With proper care and love, the Turkish Angora can be a joyful and loyal addition to any home, offering years of companionship and delight.

Purebred Kitties made the adoption process so easy. I never felt like I was in the dark at any point, which I found so helpful. Alona was genuine, kind, and answered all of my questions in a timely manor. I really appreciate everyone's help in bringing our new baby home, he's loved so much already!

I am so impressed! Instant clarification, communication, compassion. Video calls offered to assure that this company is not a scam. Caring consultants connect breeder with buyers making the middle person a fast facilitator of the transaction and steps.

Purebredkitties is a class outfit. They made the transaction easy and worry free. Adoption specialst Kim A worked tirelessly to address issues on my behalf. Even responded to me in an e- mail at 3 am her time. :o) This interaction has been an exceptionally rewarding experience

Communication is great. We were able to FaceTime with our baby pay by credit card, and when we want to pick her up, she was exactly as we expected. Only in our house two days and she’s already doing wonderfully with the family! It would be nice if for the cost the pedigree papers were included as many breeders do this the additional cost for these was hundreds of dollars and since she was arriving spayed we didn’t feel the need to pay the additional money. As my title says it’s expensive, but it was worth it the quality And size of this kitten is amazing.

Sphynx mom of 4. I have 4 Sphynx kittys from Maria at purebredkitties.com love them all - she's amazing to work with

The entire process to get our fluffy bundle of joy was stellar. Maria is super sweet and was so helpful in answering any and all of our questions. I love how the health of the cat is taken seriously throughout the process, ours just came in with some minor sniffles (but were pretty sure that's from traveling through the airport and it was quickly/easily cured). On top of all that, the video call we had to meet our little guy before we bought him was a great way to get an small sneak peak at his personality and reinforce that we were making the right choice. I'm recommending Purebred Kitties to any of my friends looking to get their own Maine Coon.

Just got my second Sphynx from purebred kitties, as my first experience was perfect and without issue. My second experience was just as good as the first. I love both of my cats to death, they have the best personalities, both are healthy, and absolutely adorable.
