i really want to find out what breed he is, I got him off a lady who just didn't have enough time for him due to work hes 12-15 weeks old I also have two female kittens who are 15 weeks old and he is huge compared to my girls his furr is really thick and long his ears are pretty big too , his paws are huge, he just has typical tabby markings. Please help me work out what breed my beautiful boy is.

He is the kind of kitten I would call a Georgia Coon Cat if he was born in this state.  He's a medium haired brown tabby, he's big boned and gorgeous, and he has a raccoon type tail (which is why Maine Coon Cats were originally called that, because of their fluffy banded tails.)  What state do you live in?  Since he doesnt have a pedigree but has the characteristics of a Coon Cat, I would call him a Coon Cat with your State's name, since that's where he was born.

Here are some photos of a couple of our "Georgia Coon Cats" that have been born around here.  Yours will be just as lovely as these!

Yes, do add your location to your profile.  We have other members in the UK and I'm sure they would love to welcome you!

Being from the U.S. myself, I had never ween a West Yorkshire Coon Cat before, but yours is certainly the most lovely one of all!!!  Keep sending photos so we can watch him grow.  And if you ever have contact with the lady you got him from, you can ask her if she knows his parentage.  Well, no reason there can't be a Yorkshire Coon, there are plenty of Yorkshire Terriers.
