180 Tortoiseshell Cat Names for Your Colorful Kitty

Tortoiseshell cats are extraordinarily beautiful. Lovingly nicknamed "torties," tortoiseshell cats are not a breed but are, instead, named after their distinct look that resembles—you guessed it!—tortoiseshell material. These speckled felines generally appear in black or orange with hints of brown, gray, red, yellow, or cream. And similar to calico cats, torties are typically female due to their genetics.
