Hello! I adopted this kitten from the humane society. She's about 3 months old so maybe a bit too soon to truly determine her breed but she was listed as Russian Blue on their site. However, her eyes are rather golden and fur seems a bit wooly which makes me think she may be Chartreux. Could anyone help me determine which one she may be?
Thank you!

Without papers, it's impossible to know. Most cats don't belong to any specific breed, and grey is a color that exists in the general population. She's very pretty though; I love grey cats.

Domestic blue short hair.
Lots of shelters and rescues tend to use pedigree breed names for domestic cats due to a combination of not knowing what constitutes a specific pedigreed cat plus it helps get them adopted faster.
Cute kitten regardless!

I love her triangle face! She is a beauty. Now to me she looks more like a Blue but she could change so much between now and adulthood.
