The beautiful Armenian Van Cat – with the intriguing eye colors: one amber, the other blue. The Van cat is considered a rare breed, one of the most beautiful and certainly the most unusual breeds of a cat ever known. Vans have a long history dating back to the earliest records of Van and ancestral Armenia. They are indigenous to the Van region in the heart of historic Armenia (present day Eastern Turkey), particularly to the city of Van, on Vana Leach (lake). The Van cat is a natural breed.
