is it angora cat or turkish van? if so, there is an incredible troublesome procedure you should finalise which probably you will not be eligible even to apply or will not be approved at the end.
if not one of endangered species, it is much easier. most of vet clinics can guide you how to. you can also get info from airlines. you better focus on italy side to clarify acceptance conditions.

Hi,

The easiest way is probably by car!

Borraro

no, it is called biological or wildlife smuggling and trafficing, if caught at border, it is a criminal case and there will be penaly, even might be senteneced to jail depending on casual evidences. also, deportation and exclusion order shall be issued.

It's EXTREMELY easy. Microchip, shots, and paperwork done by the vet. Then you can drive or fly out. Turkish air even allows you to bring them in the cabin with you.

Animals, which are indigenous to Turkey and under protection, such as the Sivas Kangal, Angora cats and Van cats will be transported on the condition that permission is obtained by the relevant directorates of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock, General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies.
