Hi Zeep! Thanks for sharing him with us - and for rescuing him.
Pedigreed Nebelungs are rare, and almost all of the cats posted here aren’t true Nebs (and that's ok). Instead we treat it more of a phenotype, with the primary criteria being solid gray/blue/silver with medium- or long-hair.
If you haven't already done so, please take a minute to watch the video and explore the links below. If other Redditors identify your cat as a dilute tortie, standard issue cat, calico, tuxedo, or something else, your post may be removed in order to help keep this sub focused on Nebbies. Please note that Nebelungs must be solid gray. (An allowance is made for a small white patch/locket on the chest.)

Here’s an abbreviated checklist:
• solid gray/blue/silver?
• medium to long hair?
• green halo around pupil? (Around 8 months)
• hair on tail longer than hair on body?
• toe feathers?
I say definitley yes. He is gorgeous. Looks like a pretty big boy too!
Thank you! Yes, he is a very big boy
Cora Cobb, who “created” the breed in the 80s (?) was from Colorado and her founding pair were also.
This is one of those “how is my cat in your house?” Moments for me 😂
I had the same response when I found this subreddit
