Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A pure white, semi-longhaired cat from eastern Turkey
The Vankedisi is the all-white type related to the Turkish Van, with a soft semi-long coat and a sturdy, elegant body. It is intelligent and lively, likes company, and needs steady play and simple coat care.

This breed enjoys about 45 minutes of play a day. Around 2 sitter visits a day keeps that routine going, along with fresh food, water and a clean litter tray, when work or travel gets in the way.

The Vankedisi is entirely white, while the Van has coloured markings on the head and tail. Both come from the same region, and recognition of them as one breed or two varies.
It sheds moderately, with a heavier moult in spring. White hair shows on dark furniture, so regular brushing helps.
Yes, outside Turkey it is uncommon, so it is worth asking breeders about health checks and lineage.
