Hello!
This is Mei, she was a stray that we took in earlier this year. I would say she has medium length fur, but what breed would you say she looks most like?

She happened to be pregnant! Do you have any guesses on what the father may have looked like going by her kittens?

Gorgeous cat! And the kittens are adorable! Thank you so much for taking them in.

90% if cats are a mix called Moggies. Moggies can come in any shape, size, color, or personality. All of our cats are Moggies and most cats that are feral or found at shelters are as well. Pure-bred cats are actually pretty rare in comparison!
Anyways, Moggies rock and tend to be healthy, gorgeous cats. The father of the kittens probably was as well.

At shelters cats are named based on their color and coat type instead of breed. Your cat would be called a patched tabby and white medium-hair cat. : )

Mei is so pretty! I would describe her as a torbie (tortoiseshell tabby) and white Domestic Mediumhair. Her kittens are adorable as well! In the kitten picture on the left, I would describe their markings (going from top, clockwise), as torbie, cream classic tabby and white, and red mackerel tabby and white. In the other picture, it looks like the other two sweeties are a cream and a black and white bicolor, but I can't see their colors in as much detail there.

Beauties!
Patched tabby respective torbie with white are two different ways to say the same description.
Both answers deserve a 10 point.

Kittens got colors and patterns which all are on momma. So its difficult to say much on daddy.
A guess could be he is red carrying dilutation gene.
As several are reds and one is paler. Ie creme.
So both parents carry the dilutation gene.
