r/catbreeds

Requesting breed info because we're curious about what he his. His tail had to be bobbed because it was really infected when he found us.

I assumed she was blue, based on her adoption pics (and how uncommon lilac is). Now that I’ve seen her in person, I think she could be lilac? I saw a glimpse of her toes and they didn’t look like my blue cat’s beans. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get better pics since she’s new and still acclimating. I’ll try to get a better look at them when she’s more comfortable with me.

My mom found this kitten at her church that’s under construction and me and my girlfriend took it in. I definitely not expecting anything crazy as I think is just a tabby but I’m not a cat person. Any ideas on what it could be??

She was pulled from a shelter where 16 (!!) kittens were set to be euthanized, only to be rescued by a local group, so they don't know anything about her. She looks the part, as far as I can tell, but she doesn't act like a Siamese at all.

The thing is, she was spayed earlier this week, and she is way too small to have been spayed already. She came to me with pretty low energy, and she is nowhere near as rambunctious as the two boys, but I don't know if that's because of the situation or if it's just how she is. She does like spending time with me.

Relatedly, I'm concerned she'll have health issues growing up, being spayed this young. :(

we adopted stewie aka mr magoo at 4 years old for like $30 bucks bc all adoption fees were just a pick ur own donation price 😅. He was abandoned in west palm beach (this photo is from when we first got him) so we assume he was originally bought off a breeder or escaped a breeder but the people attached to his OG microchip did not want to be contacted :(. I raced to pick him up when i saw him on our local shelters page just perusing. We were always told he was a black ragdoll persian and never knew just how uncommon that is until my vets new assistant mentioned it after being super excited to meet him.

Can someone fill me in on why they r so uncommon??? Im only now going down the rabbit hole abt it. Ive never met another one only black Maine coons. :)) <3

I adopted my cat as a stray from the street outside my home. My vet has marked in her vaccination card that her "Breed" is Domestic Short Hair and "Colour/Marking" as Tabby

I have a sneaking suspicion that she might be a torbie due to the different colours that I see in her coat. Is she a tortie, a torbie, or as noted by the vet a tabby? TIA

I'm taking care of this 7 month old boy and would like to know what breed this is.

I DIDNT GIVE HIM THE LEMON

This stray’s been wandering into our garden for the past week or so. What breed are they?

This little guy is way too pretty to be wandering around so all help is appreciated! :)

Born 8 March! Tiptoe was just 2 months old in the first picture and about 4 months in the second. How toasty do you think my baby will get?

Purebred seal point mitted ragdoll female.

Here's Mousse, she's 13. She has a warm greyish tabby-like fur on her back and her chin is white but her belly looks like a bubble tea color to me ^^

She's pretty small compared to my other cat Mino, a domestic shorthair but unfortunately I don't have a photo of them side to side. She's very clingy and affectionate towards humans only.

Seems a bit off to me. What is everyone’s thoughts?

thought my extra large domestic medium hair was part maine coon for a long time until i learned about cat breeds. now i have 2 maine coons as well! here’s my 3 year old dmh and 1 year old mc. see if you can tell which is which!

hi everyone!

this is Suni, my little mystery baby. i was wondering what you guys think her breed is. she’s 1 yrs old, about 7lbs, and tiny compared to her sister (2.5yr old domestic shorthair).

i’ve been asked if she’s a maine coon, a russian blue, and a nebelung. she has a medium length coat, solid grey with the small single tuft of white hair on her chest and black/grey whiskers, with a fluffy tail and pointed ears.

her breed at the vet is “medium longhair” because i believe she’s just a mix of different ones, but what do you guys think? i know nebelung is definitely the rarest breed, and most likely not it. however, i think she resembles that breed closely.

(side note, the cataract/cloudiness in her right eye has been addressed and is closely monitored by her vet team. i adopted her 8 months ago, and it was diagnosed as juvenile cataracts)

hallo!!

this is my baby jinx, a year old, and she is a shelter rescue!! as much as i love cats, i dont know alot about cat breeds (owned tabbies my whole life) and im curious to know what she might be!! the shelter papers only say domestic shorthair and thats it. to me she seems a little siamese, but i only say that because of her blue eyes lol!!

other than that, some other attributes she has that i think might be helpful: short hair but its very soft and silky, she has tiny little tufts at the tops of her ears, pretty normal sized

Hey! I’ve been feeding this stray in my neighborhood for a few days now and can’t find a breed online that looks like him, I’d also like to know if anyone can help me identify how old he is!
His body is almost a golden yellow color but the deeper half of his fur is dark brown- and no it’s not just the lighting, I’ve been feeding him at night and even in the dark you can see ends of his fur are very clearly yellowy golden. I wouldn’t think too much of it however his fur is totally black from his shoulder blades to his nose. His fur definitely gets more vibrant of a yellow towards the back of his hind legs where the base of his tail starts.
As for age- he’s pretty petite which made me think he was fairly young, he also has some crimped looking sort of fluffy fur around his body that made me think of how some animals start to shed their “baby fur” as they grow up, however I’m not a professional or anything so I’m likely wrong about it! He meows a lot and is very timid but curious, he warmed up to me very fast and within a few days he went from being scared to approach the food I left out to bumping me with his head and watching my other two cats through the screen door lol.

So I adopted Freeman (renamed to Mr. Fur Bean) almost a month ago - I was told he’s 6-8 months old per vet records. I’m not very experienced with how big or small cats usually are at this age. However, I did think that he was off to a start with some longer legs already lol Mainly because he’s already the size of my DSH black cat who’s 7 years old (see pic of them laying beside each other).

My friend was over earlier and said she thinks he might have some Maine coon in him. That he’s bigger for his age than she was expecting. 6th picture was a couple days after I got him so he’s grown some as expected.

I left a voice message for the vet to send me over records, but I’m not sure that they would even mention if he was part Maine coon or not, as he was found abandoned with two orange tabby cats. I’m not experienced enough to really know the main differences and googling on the Internet isn’t as helpful for me.

Thoughts?!

Thanks!!!
