Sounds a little like seal point or blue point coloring. Siamese, Himalayan, and Ragdolls come in those color varieties and often mix with other kinds like the cat in my avatar is Himalayan and Manx with the blue point color.

I have a degree in Animal Science. It sounds like your kitten has the albino gene, common in stray cats. They are beautiful cats and the cat can be marked a variety of ways. We raise albino kittens and they are usually in high demand, although they are not a purebreed per se; the Siamese and other similar breeds were developed from the albino gene. Your kitten was probably supposed to be a grey cat but the albino gene diluted his color on his body and made it paler and the points (ears, nose, feet and tail) retained the original color- very common in albinos. They are always blue-eyed from a lack of pigment, sometimes so light blue they can look strange. Regular cats eyes reflect light as orange in the dark, but a true albino's eyes will reflect red, sometimes freaking people out! They are always beautiful, beautiful cats, and their bodies sometimes darken in unusual patterns as they get older. You are lucky to have one and give it lots of love!

Your cat is a mix of several cats...it only makes him cuter and more apt to be an intelligent cat..Appreciate him for what he is...an all american pussy cat, beloved by all.
