I have pre adopted a kitten from a shelter and the shelter says his breed is siamese/snowshoe. I know this breeds color changes very much as they get older but could anyone tell me what he will look like? He is around 5 weeks in these pictures.

He’s so cute! I think the only change you’ll probably see as he grows is that his colored patches will darken up a bit.
Thank you! So you think his tail,ears,nose, and alittle of his face will darken more? And will they get more grey/black or darker cream/ivory?

C Cmels - He's a beautiful Blue Point Snowshoe; his points won't change in colouration, but they will certainly grow darker as he ages.

Here's my little Seal Point Snowshoe - now all grown up:

What a cutie. As to darkening, anywhere that is true white will stay white. The rest will darken and spread slowly over time. I think it does look more dramatic on snowshoes just because you have the contrast between the dark and the white. It looks like the area around one eye of your baby may be pure white.

Here is Link over 3-4 years:

Rocket over 2-3 years, she hasn't darkened as much as Link... or maybe she has just not as much in the face since she has more white:

Yes. We see barely the face masque, because its covered with a big white splotch. But look at his tail, the tail reveals the color of his point.

So yes, he will darken up some. Not that much as the seal (black) pointed showshoes whom often gets very dark already as young, but he will darken up him too.
