I have six orange girls. Probably the largest collection on the East coast that isn't a shelter or rescue.

Clockwise 11:30 Charlie 1:00 Topaz 3:00 Papita 4:00 Tasselhoff 6:00 Lucy 9:00 Ellie

Charlie, Tasselhoff and Papita are also bobtails. So bonus rareness.

We foster a lot of cats and and I had had orange girl on my list for a long long time. And then one day someone called me because in an area I was doing tnr my mom dropped off three babies on a porch. All three were girls. I caught the mom who was also orange. And then we picked up two more within a few months.

I went from years without a single orange girl showing up to a flood of them to a flood of them. I was only going to keep two but my wife made me keep all of them.

I just started an audio book that I think you might enjoy as it co-star a couple of orange kittys: Starter Villain.
