komur
I think komur is the best. But one should explain the orthograph in case the asker can not view turkish letters. Let's say "komur" with two points on both o and u.
As for the prononciatıon; In "ko", "k" is pronounced as "c" in cup, and "o" is as "ir" in bird. In "mur", "ur" is pronounced as "ure" in "pure".
Note: I agree with the first answerer but there wasn't enough space to add a comment this is why I had to add an answer.

Comment: "All of the answers were great! It was very difficult to chose. My son and daughter felt that this choice was the best and wish to name our new cat Komur. I have found this whole process extremely fascinating and intriguing. This is a remarkable ... whatever it is...Isn't the World Wide Web an amazing thing!!!"

Siyah renkli ve beyaz bıyıklı Ankara kedisi
Angora cats are generally white as shown in below link, though some other colors seen. Your question is not so clear :mustache or black means Bıyık veya Siyah.
But your description indicates a cat from tales: A cat with boots, if you mean this famous tales (Left to smallest child of farmer )it is : Çizmeli Kedi (cizmeli kedi-similar English fonts ).
But if you ask only male Turkish Angora cat who is black with a white mustache : The answer is "Siyah renkli ve beyaz bıyıklı Ankara kedisi " instead you may also say Siyah tüylü ve beyaz bıyıklı Ankara kedisi "

I think \"Kömür \" of murad aşkın best for your cat( means coal/charcoal. ) if you are looking for a Turkish name for Turkish Angora cat

"Mustache" = Bıyık; "black" = kara, siyah
The job is to use the words "mustache" or "black"as descriptive elements in naming a male Turkish Angora cat.
My comment:
"Bıyık" and "kara" are not words generally used in description the cats and the Angora cats.
In case, "Ak Bıyık" or "Karam" may be used.
