Photo: Because the vast majority of calico cats are female (only 1 in every 3,000 calicos are male), the names we’ve selected lean that way. But we’ve also included names for the rare male calico and names that can be used for both male or female! And coming soon ... names for all those torties with tortitude out there!

My grand kitty is named Missy Moo because of her Heifer markings. Her pronounced schnoz and prominent eyes round out a very unique and totally cute cat.

I rescued 2 calico sisters at 9 weeks old that were brought into my vet’s office, along with their brother & sister. My prior kitty that passed away was also a calico, so in honour of her, I decided to split the name “Calico” in half, giving my new one cat the name “Cali” and the other “Coco”, since “Co” by itself isn’t a name. So then . . . “Cali” + “Coco” = "CALICO ! !

We have a torti. She has had a few names. The pound named her speckles, but the teens that would volunteer called her fetty wop bc she has a bad eye that looks just like the rapper- fetty wop’s. But we have named her CiCi.

My rescued baby is Sherkie… My father thought it was a male cat, so he named it after The Jungle Book’s Shere Khan. I told him it was a female cat, and we laughed stating its similarities with the character; so I ended up naming her Sherkie Bagheera Zamora Molina… Yeah she has middle name and last names 😂
Heather on March 02 2019 at 01:49PM
Our calico girl is Sadie Madison. Yes she has a middle name. Yes so do our other two cats. 😂
