He is mostly black with white paws and half of his mouth and nose are white. He also has a few patches of white on his belly. He has longer hair but its not really long. On his body there are even a few strands of white hair among the millions of black. I can not find a longer hair cat that is black but I dont think he is a short-haired cat. What do you think?

The vast majority of cats are from a long history of mixed breed parentage, and are considered 'Domestic Short Hair' cats. This can be modified depending on the length of the fur. Unless you have a purebred cat with a CFA pedigree, you have a Domestic Medium Hair. The color means nothing. Many breeds of cats have a variety of colors.
For more info on the cat breeds, check out the Cat Fancier's Association (roughly equivalent to the AKC for dogs) website below.

the vets would probably just clasify him as a medium length domestic cat, he may also be called a tuxedo for the black and white markings.
Unless he has some very distinctive markings or you have proof of a blood line it would be hard to name a specific breed.
