We do not own a cat

Chances are it's a male. 85% of all oranges are males.

I'm glad you guys are caring for him. I hope you find a wonderful home for him.

Awwww, he/she is a handsome/ pretty kitty. I have a thing for Orangies. Every one I even met has been such a sweetheart.
This looks like one of my porch kitties that come every afternoon for dinner. He once had a blue collar, but outgrew it years ago.

Oh, best wishes to Tiger! And thank you so much, Karen and Paul, and your neighbors, for looking after him and checking him out. I hope your friend will adopt him.

It once was "carved in stone", that all orange cats had to be male (no exception), and all calico cats had to be female (no exception there either). This was even held as gospel in the scientific world, as I will attest to this from when I worked in the Microbiology Dept at the Univ of DE back in the 70's. The PhD's that I worked with did genetic research, and they swore that it was an extreme rarity and mutation for an orange cat to be female. Just goes to show you that even the brainiacs can be proven wrong!

He's likely a male, I told the neighbor upstairs this, as they were calling Tiger a she. That said, he's not really very orange at all, more a pale almost buff color, the photos are somewhat misleading, but it is hard to get a photo of him awake, as he's usually twining around my ankles or in my lap! He certainly was an owned kitty at some point, as he is VERY polite, meows at the door to be fed, but will sit and wait politely once I have acknowledged his request. And he'll wait for me to put a glove on to pet him, or even consents to being petted through paper towel, which freaks out some kitties! Right now he goes outside to eat, as we only feed him outdoors, and outside when we evict him for the night, or have to go somewhere, but his new Mom is planning on him being indoor only, no worries!

I know he could still be a she.. just that as said, it would be more rare.. not impossible.. males just need one orange gene to be orange.. girls need to have two..
the buff color is mainly a red, diluted.. so still a red

forgot your allergies :P .. but I'm sure he'll be well taken care of

Awwwww, what a sweety! Orange or buff, how comfy and content Tiger looks on the yellow blanket! Prayers that Tiger gets a new forever home very soon

He is adorable and obviously a very smart boy. He knows where to come for help finding a good home. Thanks for taking care of this sweetie - he deserves a good life.
