About Dotty

MR MUSTARD is a 15 year old that was brought to us with his BFF Dotty, also 15 years old. Their owner is now in assisted living. We need to find Dotty & Mr Mustard a new home together. Both these kitties are super sweet and deserve to have a special home for the remainder of their senior years. If you have questions, or are interested in Mr Mustard & Dotty, please call or text 575-202-1674 or email nmkimj@gmail.com. Thank You! (update 10-1-25)

About Turkish Van Cats

Turkish Vans are large, athletic cats famous for their love of water, earning them the nickname "the swimming cat." They are distinguished by their mostly white coat with colored markings primarily on the head and tail, a pattern so distinctive it is called the "Van pattern." Their semi-long, cashmere-like coat is water-resistant and dries quickly after their aquatic adventures.

Adopting a Turkish Van means welcoming an energetic, playful companion who brings excitement and affection to your home. They are intelligent, independent-minded cats who enjoy climbing to the highest points in the house and playing in water whenever possible. Their strong personalities, stunning appearance, and amusing antics make them unforgettable companions for families who enjoy an active, spirited cat.
