Are Snowshoe cats born white?

Yes, Snowshoe kittens are born entirely white. As they grow, they begin to develop their distinctive color points, including darker shades on the ears, face, paws, and tail. This gradual color development happens over several weeks as the kittens develop. The contrasting white markings on their feet, chest, and face become more pronounced as they continue to grow, and their coat color settles into its final pattern.
