My mother just adopted a kitty for me, i live in pa and she lives in az, so i wont be grtting this baby for about 3 more weeks! She was a rescue apparently, but we got her from a private home! The lady said she was a ragdoll at 12 weeks old! She doesnt look 12 weeks to me, what do you guys think? And she doesnt look too much like a ragdoll either, opinions??

She's lovely. 

She seems to be of Siamese background to me - the point pattern shows that, although her fur is a bit longer so maybe she is a mix of Ragdoll and Siamese. 

What color are her paws? Are they dark also or perhaps lighter in color/white?  

She could be 3 months,hard to tell but that litter box looks pretty small so it's hard to tell just how big or small she is.

FYI, she's laying in her litter box which some cats will do when feeling stressed and not sure of their surroundings.  Since it has their odor, it gives them comfort. When you finally get her to your home, it may be a good idea to look into some calming/destressing items such as Feliway which comes as a plug in.  She'll also be making a long trip to you, and that too will add to her stress. Just be aware she may seem out of sorts for a week or so until she acclimates to her new surroundings.

Let us know how it goes, if you need any help once she is settled in.  There are lots of us here who are really well versed in dealing with shy kitties

I did tell my mom that she would do good in a small room too start while she gets more adjusted! When she finally gets here i have no plan on rushing! Ill send you a pic of her standing up so you can see better!

Aww she's just so beautiful!

Yea, she looks older than 3 months for sure.  But, no matter really -  you'll love her just the same.

There are some real experts on cat coloring on TCS so hopefully someone else will show up to help.

And yes, I highly suggest keeping her in a small area for a while until she feels comfortable. Obviously, you'll have her litter box, food and water in there and put some toys, and places for her to relax and climb if possible.  Getting up high will help her feel more secure too.  Don't keep the water and food right near the litter box, most cats won't appreciate eating right next to where they eliminate.  

Best of luck with her! Looking forward to seeing her again once she's settled in.
