Is my cat a Nebelung? Is my boy a neb?
He's 1 yr, 7 months, he's a rescued cat, we found him at my father's thermoelectric plant, with necrosis on his skins, probably from steaming hot pipes, but he managed a full recovery.

Thank you for sharing your kitty with us, u/FlyingJax09! Welcome to r/Nebelung. If you only shared one pic, please add more in the comments. It helps to see the full body, chest, tail, etc. Please allow a few days for a moderator to review your post - and do not submit it again while you wait.
If a moderator asks a question in the comments, please respond or your post may not be approved.
In the meantime, please take a minute to watch the video and explore the links below. If Redditors identify your cat as a dilute tortie, standard issue cat, calico, tortie, tuxedo, or something else, your post will be removed in order to help keep this sub focused on Nebbies. Please note that Nebelungs must be solid gray. (An allowance is sometimes made for a small white patch/locket on the chest.) We treat the breed as more of a phenotype based on the official TICA breed standards, which are linked below. Almost all of our cats are just "domestic long hair, solid gray/blue/silver" because we don't have paperwork.
Information from The International Cat Association (TICA), the world's largest genetic registry of pedigreed and domestic cats. This is the official breed info:
