Meet the Turkish Angora

As one of the oldest longhaired breeds, Turkish Angoras are held in high esteem in their native Turkey. Indeed, they have been a protected species since the 1940s. One Turkish Zoo has a colony of Angoras, breeding only white cats. Turkish Angoras came to the United States in 1962.

Angoras are a one-person cat that is gentle, quiet, and playful. They may be the most intelligent of the breeds! They prefer indoor life but need adequate exercise space. They are graceful, long, and slim, with a muscular, medium-sized body. The coat is shimmery, with fine and thick Angora hair of medium length. They require regular grooming and combing with a medium-toothed comb that removes dead hair.

Originally, white was the only recognized color. With the exception of colorpoint, solid lilac, and chocolate, the cats are now recognized in all colors and patterns. The original white cats are still preferred by most breeders
