Hi everyone! I recently rescued a kitten and was curious as to what breed of cat she is. I think she might be part siamese but my vet said she was a dilute calico. Thoughts? Thanks

Her eyes appear green, but that doesn't rule out some Javanese in her heritage. Green's actually accepted in the FIFe Breed Standard (although the CFA says, "blue eyes") for Javs.
.
Yeah, there are also some strains among ragdolls whom has greenish eyes, sooner than blue.
Still, if they are bluish in reality (pics are sometimes unreliable in retelling colors of the eyes) , it would definitely straight things out.
Shes just soooo adorable!!!!

Her eyes are blue and green (blue inner, green outer) which made me think she had a bit of siamese in her
Thanks for all the comments!
Ok, so be it. I shall take the plunge and sign the verdict with my name and my own hand:

She is a point and probably a diluted calico...
Being a point she may be said to be a "siamese mix". As the point gene comes from siameses. Although we cant know exactly how long back the siamese ancestor is. May be even 100 generations back - the gene wandering down the river of Life.Im not entirely sure if she really is diluted calico. The darkest parts are dark, almost black, no? Nose, ears - I dont see the tail... She MAY be an undiluted calico.
But point she is, and it helps to complicate the things and the overall picture.

Oops, after looking more closely, I realized she actually has blue and gold eyes! Her darkest parks are almost black, but more like dark brown (tail is dark brown). She's mostly a cream / light-brown / dark-brown kitty so I named her Chai. I guess I'll go with point, diluted calico? I'm not sure if that's the proper way to use the terminology hahahOk, so be it.

To straight things out: the pastell-yellowish on her body, isnt creme of the diluted tortie. Its the natural body color of a point. She does also carries a lot of white, as we see.
Its really only on the face we see the white intertwined with some creme. Its there we see she is creme. And the dark parts are probably darkish blue - as it should with a diluted tortie...
So yeah, in the end analysis, she is diluted torte point and white; the diluted torite we see really only on her masque.
