I should probably wait till she’s older but I’m curious as to what people here would say. She’s 4 months old and I expect she may get darker overall as I’ve seen similar cats go from about her color to darker as they aged.

Here she is

What an adorable girl! I would describe her as a seal tortie point and white domestic longhair. I agree, she'll probably get darker as she matures, and she will probably become fluffier, too!

The recessive colorpoint gene was introduced into the domestic cat gene pool around 70 years ago, when the Siamese breed became popular. Many people still refer to pointed cats as "Siamese mixes," but this is not really accurate today. At this time, the colorpoint gene is widely distributed through the gene pool, and doesn't indicate recent Siamese ancestry or a close relationship to the Siamese breed. Most cats are not any particular breed.

I think either a snowshoe mix or a ragdoll mix. She is a beauty.

Agree with Lutece. Her being point is apparent, but why the black parts are so uneven is a riddle. The riddle gets explained by she is also a tortie...
Not very apparent at first glance. :)
