She doesn't look particularly like a Maine coon mix, but you can try your hand at some of the new DNA tests out there for cats. There is still some skepticism about their accuracy however, but it is available if you really want to find out. Here is a website link for your convenience. https://www.caninejournal.com/best-cat-dna-test/
