We got our cat from the rescue shelter. He was normal cat sized. We got him home and he's grown quite considerably and is now a very large kitty.
He is white with tabby markings and two patches on each side of his body - one is in a heart shape 
He has green eyes.
His coat isn't the usual type of cat coat and it's very thick and dense. It's slightly longer than a shorthair.
His character is very friendly and bright. He loves being with us. He is very strong and powerful. He doesn't mind getting wet and will spend hours out in the rain and come in soaking.
I'm wondering if he's a turkish van cross.
I have a photo on my profile, but he's lying down, so you can't see his markings that well.
