You have written an appealing plea on Tuscany's behalf, and I hope he is adopted soon. Many narratives on cats up for adoption (i.e., on Petfinder) aren't specific enough, and seem very bare-bones; it is nice to know some fosterers like yourself take the time to detail the cat's personality, quirks, etc., which I think would encourage adoption.

Reminds me of a cat that was in PetSmart. Her card mentioned that she had been there so very long, and was such a sweet girl, etc., etc. (I don't remember the exact wording) and it kept me thinking about her for a long time after I left. The next time I went back she was gone, so I hope someone else's heartstrings were pulled and she found a home.

He probably does have some Turkish Van in his blood. As you mentioned, the markings are indicative of that breed.
