The WishnWhiskers breeding philosophy is not simple:

• Endeavor to breed good representatives of the breed.
  
• Encourage the growth of the Turkish Van from a minority breed into a recognized and easily recognizable breed.
  
• Want my cats to have full lives and do not breed them more than once a year.
  
• Recognize that the gene pool is small and needs constant enrichment, so outcross as much as possible to keep the hybrid vigor strong.

Kittens

• Produce a limited number of kittens each year
  
• Place them in homes that will promote the breed as well as give them a full and satisfying feline life.
  
• Realizing that indoor cats live on average a decade longer than outdoor felines, preference is given to homes that will only allow them outside on a very limited basis or will give them access to an outdoor enclosed run.
  
• Want our buyers to be aware of the animal husbandry required of a good cat owner and expect them to keep the cat well-fed, in good medical condition and in a circumstance of limited stress.
  
• Desire all of the cats placed have full feline lives, in short.
