Welcome to Barb Azan's
Turkish-Angoras.com website!
Some of you may already know but many others do not that Barb passed away of kidney failure on Novermber 17, 2008. She is now out of pain and back in the presence of dearly beloved two and four legged friends whom passed before her.
Please watch for this new website to grow! This site will represent a memorial for Barb and feature photographs of her, her cats, articles and advice she had written, cat shows she attended and a section for your tribute where we hope all of you will offer your kind—even fun—thoughts and memories of your first-hand experiences with Barb, her cats, and her work for the Turkish Angora breed.
Although our dear Barb Azan has passed away, we want to assure all of her clients and those interested in her cats that her wishes and life's work are not gone. Barb built one of the finest lines of Turkish Angora cats known, and she contributed a plethora of educational efforts to broaden the awareness of this wonderful cat into the hearts and minds of cat lovers, cat breeders, cat show judges, and others.
Along with other close friends, Karen Delmont and Sue Howland were with Barb almost daily near her end—especially Karen who spent all day, everyday at her side in the hospital. Until the last hospitalization, Barb already had plans set for all of us to take her cats and her to a cat show. She had even made it out of the hospital bed to physical therapy when a setback occurred and she passed away. Barb always planned and pushed forward despite her illness. She was a formidible woman!
Sue Howland was appointed the primary person responsible for the caring of Barb, her cats and the logistics of her cattery business including Kit Goodwin's fabulous and tireless help. The preservation of Barb's Turkish Angora bloodline will be maintained through Sue's, Kit's, Karen's and other breeders' catteries. Any initial inquiries to acquire Barb's cats and kittens, or for any other reason, can be addressed to Sue Howland at her email address below:
