Hey all! I am more of a dog expert , LOL! Although I adore all animals :) Recently while camping I found this scrawny, starving kitten hiding in the bushes. I made a trap to catch her because she obviously needed help. She is doing great now, I believe she is 1 1/2 to 2 months old. She seems sweet and is warming up to humans fast. I was just wondering if anyone had a rough estimate/ best guess as to what her breed might be. Thanks in advance! -Leah

Love the color and pattern. Without knowing her ancestry she is considered a Domestic Shorthair (DSH). I don't see any distinctive characteristics that would make her a look-alike for a specific breed.

She looks older than 2 months. More likely somewhere between 6 months and a year.

Have you taken her to a vet yet? She'll need to get her shots and be spayed, as well as checked for general health. The vet may be able to give you a better idea on her age, although it can be hard to tell with cats.

I agree with the above - including she is more than barely 2 months,  She doesnt look as one year BUT many petite females looks alike kittens. So beware!   Let a vet make a check up, including all the works as deworming, vaccinating, spaying.  preferalby  in two different session, as getting everything done in one session does takes a toll.

I agree with the others. Domestic shorthair and at least 6 months old although I might go closer to a year. One of my cats, Rocket, is one of those small females who looks younger. To give you examples: 

Here is Rocket at 5 months old, 


The photo of Rocket below is her at 15-16 months old.
