| Hello, I would love to acquire an orange/ginger cat, anyone know where I can find one? |
| Go to petfinder and search for one- there will be all the orange rescue cats you could ever hope for there. |
| You can’t take mine!! |
| So glad I'm allergic to cats. Otherwise I'd be the Cat Lady. |

I just flipped through a couple local shelters and they all have adult orange cats.
If you want a kitten you might be better off waiting until late spring or summer as that's when shelters are up to their eyeballs in kittens. My advice is to pick a cat off temperament. My cuddliest cat is my tortie, despite the rep they get. My old orange boy was more a sit next to you cat, not a cuddle cat. Color stereotypes don't guarantee behavior. |

There are plenty everywhere
Just checked rescue I volunteer for, found this beauty in Meow Maison cafe https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ9ueN9gfR6/?igsh=MTZzYTlra2MwNXNvNA== https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/javascript/v2.0/template1?animalID=21786016&key=Mqr6gy1W |
| Most ginger cats are male but sometimes there's what's called a creamsicle cat which is white and ginger. Often though these ones are either deaf or blind |
Only about 2/3rds of ginger cats are male. Plenty are female and both genders can have white as well. No ill effects. The vast majority of calico cats are female. I have seen a male calico (they do exist), but they are sterile. |
e Everything I said is 100% true. |
| Orange cat energy is the best. All the ones I have known are male and chill. Good luck OP |
| Are you in VA? Homeward Trails has lots of them. https://www.homewardtrails.org/adoptacat/ |
We had a make creamsicle who was super healthy (lived to 19). He was a big boy. |
| We had a petite "creamsicle" girl kitty who was the sweetest cat. We miss you. Flower! (No health issues. Not sure where that PP got their deaf/blind info. Doesnt seem to be anything online showing a connection. ) |

"White cats, especially those with blue eyes, are most likely to be born deaf due to a specific dominant gene (W) that affects both pigmentation and inner ear development. The gene that causes a cat's coat to be entirely white and its eyes blue can also cause the auditory apparatus in the inner ear to degenerate. "
