What Breed Is My Rescue Kitty?

[JulesB86]

I recently adopted a rescue who had been dumped in a garbage bin and left there for quite some time. She been seen by the vet and got the all clear. They said she’s Persian but hard to tell due to her coat & tail being in bad shape and she’s very thin, needs to put on weight.

Anyways what breed do you think she is?

Her eyes and nose scream Persian. Its is her lack of weight, that makes her face too narrow. I bet as she regains her health she will round out.

posiepurrs is the Persian guru maybe she'll pop in....

I dont see much, but from what I see, the cat must have much persian.

I agree that she will look even more like one as she puts weight on. Her face reminds me of my Lilith

I agree that there’s a lot of Persian in her, she has that flat Persian face. She’s a pretty cat! Thank you for rescuing her!

I do see possible Persian influence there - the round eyes and the short face. Thanks for rescuing this beauty!

Thank you everyone for your opinions. We are working hard to make her happy and healthy!

Can I just ask you - we were told she is 8 months (according to the rescuer, the vet examined and went by her teeth size) but I’ve noticed she has a lot of grey hairs. Is this normal for a black kitty?
Grey hairs to me normally are a sign of getting older right?

It is not uncommon in black cats to find lighter hairs interspersed through out the coat. It isn't a sign of age.
