Hello. What a sweet little calico kitten. The best we can do about what breed she is will be to call her a Domestic Shorthair. 8 weeks is a perfect time to have her examined physically & for intestinal parasites & start her vaccinations. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
