I JUST got her today, so I’m still thinking of a name that suits her! She’s 4 1/2 months old.

Black mackerel tortie tabby domestic shorthair.

Looks like she is getting settled in!

I too think she is a torbie "patched tabby" , ie combo of tabby and tortie... Question is what sort of tabby... On one side it seems to be clearly spots, on the other not that clearly. Probably its a quite a mix in the fray, with both spotted tabby and a mackerel tabby... And I think mackerel gene dominates over spotted gene; but still, sometimes it shines through.
Its not impossible she has even a rosetted bengal as a far away ancestor, giving her the spotted tabby gene... A couple of spots on the right side looks almost rosetteish.

Observe, these sweet spots on the belly doenst prove anything, they are common for many tabbies.

Hard to get her still enough to show - here's some more photos, if that helps! Appreciate the insight, you all know so much!

Yeah, I believe even more for some bengal ancestry. Not very near but still.

She's beautiful! She looks a lot like my Ash. She is lighter in color though. I have no idea what he is either.

Re naming. I would suggest something ukrainian. Perhaps someone of their combat medic. Either one martyr or one still alive....

Say, Olga after Olga Semidyanova...

Or Olga "Ptashka" - combat medic and singer from Azovstal.

Or even Sonja; the dog and defender of Azovstal - survived the siege, but further fate unknown.

Oops; the singer and combat medic from Azovstal is Kateryna... writing Olga was a mistake. Ps. Im not sure if Ptashka is her real surname, or if its a nick, because she is a good singer... Anyway, she is known as Ptashka, Kateryna. (the ukrainian spelling of Katerina)

She is a dsh spotted torbie I think. I also agree she has some Bengal ancestry likely because it looks like she’s getting sort of rosettes and her face reminds of those features that I have seen in Bengals. In the first kitten picture if she has a very light background which shows up more contrast for her pattern so I was thinking maybe silver I don’t know, probably not. Very beautiful baby
