Keep the cat individual.

Browse the current Canadian Cat Association directory as source-linked starting points. A breed standard describes a registry category, not an individual cat's ancestry, personality or health.

AN IMPORTANT LIMIT

Appearance alone does not confirm a breed.

Use registration, pedigree, rescue or veterinary records when available. Household cats without those records still belong in WiseTails and receive the same cat-wide care foundation without being assigned a breed.
