What breed is Miss Dolly?

[LEpace]

This is Dolly Parton, an estimated 5yr old RSPCA rescue and the absolute love of my life.

She was found as an emaciated stray, but her RSPCA papers guessed her as an Asian semi-long haired. Just wanted to know any others thoughts. She's incredibly timid in nature and not very trusting of anyone apart from me, I think perhaps this is more to do with her history rather than her genetic makeup.

I'd be keen to get a genetic test for her but they're super pricey! Does anyone have recommendations for cheaper alternatives? Enjoy the cute cat content

Thanks,
Me & Miss P x

I can see possible Ragdoll mixture in her face. Could be a mix with Ragdoll or one of the other fluffy breeds like Siberian or Norwegian. She does have interesting eyes as well as a beautiful coat.

She's a blue bicolour domestic longhair. Basepaws breed tests are a scam -- they admit their service isn't a breed test in their own small print, as most cats don't have significant breed ancestry. UC Davis has a cat ancestry test which *is* reputable, but it's not cheap, and can only detect breed if your cat has really significant ancestry with at least one pedigree parent, to my understanding. Even then, they blatantly state their service isn't a breed verification test. Enjoy your pretty girl

Here's a post from Lutece for more details: Help! What breed do you think my kitty is
