Norweigian forest cat mix?

I adopted my new kitty about a month ago from the shelter and I was wondering if she looked like she might have some NFC in her or be a look alike. She has an angular face, tufts between her paws, and a big tuft underneath her face on her chest. Just thought it would be fun to get some feedback.

Some more photos that didn't load correctly on the original post

The overall looks are decently look alike.  If she is biggish its even fully possible.

I would for sure say she's a sturdier cat than most. Not huge but larger than an average cat. I know you can't really see that in the pictures. Thank you for the feed back!

Pretty girl.

Possibly, but short of a DNA test it would be hard to know for sure. Norwegian Forest Cats are quite rare in the US, though.

Yes of course a DNA test is a must if I want a truly accurate description. But I just wanted to know if she seemed like a look-alike, and they are for sure rare. But I think it's just all in good fun to think about her having some ancestry in an exotic breed

I have a friend who had a male and a female Norwegian Forest Cat (breeder). How old is your kitty?

She does resemble Mimi. My friend's cats were both dilute colors.

I think you have a mix, and a very pretty kitty

CFA lists 27 or 28 breeders:

but as far as I know, only Colleen McGrady here in New York (my Bob's breeder) is sanctioned by T.I.C.A.

Sanne Fox?  Gorgeous cats, if so, and loved by judges.

maybe a bit of Maine Coon? They have large ears and tufts of fur between toes. Your girl is beautiful!

She just turned two today! Thank you, I think she's so cute and can't believe I was able to get her from the shelter

That's what I thought at first too because they are very similar but there's a picture I found that shows the profiles of mancoon, NFC, and Siberian and her face shape seemed to resemble the NFC the most.

Also all I know about her past is that her previous owners had landlord issues and had to take her to a shelter. I first just thought she was a domestic long hair but she has some distinguishing physical traits that could possible resemble NFC making her just a look-alike.
