The great thing about having a tortoiseshell cat is that you can be very creative about a name for it. Also, you can name it depending on the color and pattern of its coat. The names won’t change a great deal whether they are male or female since they are all cute in the same way.
Tortoiseshells are unique, with their beautiful “patchwork” coats, and their independent and feisty personalities. Torties are also almost exclusively female, hence the absence of male names from the list.
You’ll find some excellent choices here, so take your pick from names like;
- Katerina – just call her Kat
- Motley – cat with a beautiful mottled coat
- Patches – for her unique patchwork fur
- Taffy – perfect for a sweet, little Tortie kitten
