Bella is about 1 year and 6 months. I rescued her when she was only just a kitten. I found her outside, right by my apartment door meowing at me. I instantly fell in love and decided to take her in.

What a lovely little girl. She is a blue domestic shorthair. Blue being her color, which is grey but in cats is called blue, and domestic shorthair being her breed.

She's so pretty! I would also describe her as a blue Domestic Shorthair. You could also call her a Maltese cat.

If you want to compare her with some established breed so perhaps Korat.
Although the green of the eyes isnt good.

Otherwise I agree with the others.

She is stockier than a typical domestic shorthair in the US and her face is a bit different. I would not be surprised if one parent was a big longhaired breed such as Maine Coon.
Cats need to inherit the trait for longhair from both parents, if only one parent had the genetics for long hair it wouldn't pass on to the kittens.
Lovely looking cat.
