How do I find out my 3-month-old cat's breed? Vets weren't sure.

It’s hard to identify most cats breeds based up looks alone and many breeds carry the same traits. If your kitten was found as a stray, she is likely a mixed breed. She has medium length hair and we would call her a Domestic Medium Hair. Many breeds have medium length hair such as the Turkish Angora. If you have many pure bred cats in your area, it’s possible that she is a mix of long haired breed (such as a Persian) and a short haired breed (of which there are many). Regardless, she is beautiful. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!

Kijani does not look like a pure breed cat, she is probably mix breed. if it is important for you to know the exact mix of breeds you can have a DNA test done. many companies offer this service and the process is easy and quite cheap. this is just one example: http://www.animalsdna.com/www.animalsdna.com/index.html

Hello. The best anyone can do is call your cat a Domestic Shorthair. Perhaps in the future, we will have the ability to distinguish breeds through DNA , like we can do with dogs now. But, the entire cat genome for every breed has not been established yet. You might check this out, where they can identify by broad geographic breed group where your cat best fits ( https://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/cat/ancestry ). Thanks for using PetCoach.

The best way to tell what breed your cat is would be to do a DNA test. Unless you got the cat from a breeder, in which case you would know the breed, the cat is most likely a mixed breed. Mixed breed cats are described by their haircoat (short, medium or long). So Max looks to be a DMH or domestic medium hair. ( https://www.petplan.co.uk/pet-information/cat/advice/cat-dna-test/ )

WIthout a picture it is hard to say, but it sounds like it could be an American Shorthair. Cat breeds are much more difficult to decipher than dog breeds unless they are very obvious, such as a Sphynx or Siamese. If you are really curious and want to know for sure, there are companies that provide DNA testing. This will give you more information on your cat's lineage.

That may be difficult. There is some breed detection being offered by a company called Wisdom Panel. I recommend to look into this. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

What a beautiful cat! Judging by her coat color and quality she very well could be a Turkish Angora, however there is no way to know for sure. There are several different DNA testing kits that you could try that may help you determine her breed. Whatever her breed, she’s gorgeous! Good luck on with your lovely cat!
