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!

I have a dilute calico who is the sweetest, goofiest, sassiest cat i know whom I named Zoey (with many nicknames of Zo, zozo, Zocat,Zoey Cat, zo girl, mumma and buhbuh to name a few). Love her to death! She keeps life interesting 😁
Our Boston Terrier is Alex, our black and tan Shiba is Shadow, and our Calico cat’s is Lucy!
My perfect calico was Sophia-Anne, the smartest pussycat in any universe! She was adept at opening cabinet doors, so I had to install baby proof locks! We would have lengthy conversations, in which each was unsure what the other was saying, but which pleased us anyway. She passed away last February, and I miss her so much. Calico pussycats are very clever and are the best pussycats.
Our calico was Chacha, her black sister was Tango. They made such a beautiful pair together. Rescued littermates.
I’ve had two calicos cats in my life so far and I’ve named them both Callie as I prefer Callie to any other name got them both from family members that had kittens originally the first one was called little Callie cause the person had an older Callie and then mine I got so I shortened it and my second one the other person I got it from originally called it Corona but I didn’t like it being named after the virus so I changed it to Callie cause that’s the name I prefer for my Calicos
