Maybe a Maine Coon mix (Img link provided)

She is a beauty and is only 5 weeks old (still have not named her lol). She is a Calico kitten, her sister is a tortie but she was adopted by someone else. Here I provide 2 links.
This first link is the kitten I adopted:

Her sister:

Could she possibly be a Maine Coon mix since she resembles one??

Oh my cats, what a sweetie! Of course, unless you were to send away for the DNA testing--(is that for cats also or only for dogs?) there is no way to tell definitively "what" she is. It's usually only the vet's or your own best guess. Whatever she turns out to be, she is absolutely adorable. Why don't you join our site and make a profile page for her? We'd love to see photos of her as she grows!

She is adorable. They are actually both torti. Yours is torti and white. A calico has more white and the red and black would be in more defined patches. Tortis are my favorite but expect some torti-tude from her. Mine are both crazy.;) Maine Coon is fairly common in the natural cat population of the U.S. so it's perfectly possible she has some in her but as the other posters said, give her some time for her features to develop a bit.

What cuties! Actually, your kitty isn't a calico, but a tortie and white (see my Lola and Chibi). She's very fluffy, so she's going to grow up to be a medium or long haired kitty. Her sturdy legs and ears suggest Maine Coon heritage, but the shape of her face and head are closer to those of a generic, random bred cat. Don't forget that Maine Coons are a naturally occurring cat breed who also have a purebred variety bred by breeders; the naturally occurring cat came first, and many cats in the U.S. have MC genetic heritage. Some cats look more like MCs than others. I'd call your kitten a MC mix. But I'd be interested in seeing more pictures as she matures.

ok I own a maine coon so I know alot about them and yours has a rectangular head shape wide set eyes and ears it sports a M on the forehead she is also polydactal (means they have extra toes)those are all maine coon characteristics and she is not a calico she is a tortie with white but you adopted her so its probably a mix so I think she is a Maine coon mix
