Adopt a Tortoiseshell

76 Tortoiseshells available for rescue from independent organizations across the United States. Updated daily.

Tortoiseshell cats — 'torties' — wear mottled black-and-orange coats and are famously full of personality, sometimes nicknamed 'tortitude.' They're a color pattern, not a breed, and like calicos are nearly always female. A rescued tortie brings sass, smarts, and affection.
