Actually, most cats don't have breeds, unlike dogs. In fact, most cats are just generic cats with no recognizable breed genetic input. I would guess that Leah is part Siamese and part moggy (generic cat). The moggy influence can be seen in the tabby markings and the white boots. The Siamese influence can be seen in the fact that she has dark shading on her extremities (except her white feet), and her blue eyes. Also, although kittens tend to have triangular heads and large ears anyway, this is also a Siamese characteristic. As for the fact that her fur is of medium length, my guess is that that comes from a domestic medium hair ancestor. The Snowshoe breed is very rare, but Siamese have contributed a lot to the moggy population, so I would guess Siamese rather than Snowshoe. Whether her Siamese ancestor was a parent, or a somewhat more distant relative, I can't say.

She does look like she will have medium length hair and I'd say with those blue eyes, siamese is a good guess for what breed she may have in her mix. Her color appears to be seal lynx point. The M on her forehead is a common marking for a lynx point. Her colors and markings will continue to develop over the first couple of years and she may look completely different when she is older and it will be easier to tell what breed she resembles when she is older. Siamese, himalayans ragdolls, etc. are all born white and change a lot over the first couple of years.
