My Kitten Found this baby a week ago. Anyone think tabby/ calico?
We think she was about 2 weeks when we found her last week. My step dad said she looks like tabby and Calico.

I think this would be considered “Torbie”. You can google for pictures but it’s tabby and tortie color patterns

Some of them can be incredibly subtle, too. Mine was listed as a regular tabby by the shelter, but when I got her home I noticed she has a huge patch of creamy peach on one of her back legs, and some subtle but distinctive mottling on one of her front paws, too. The red patches on her shoulders and sides are much more difficult to see, but definitely there!

Under her legs she has like an orange color maybe peach though. I know it’s harder to tell because she so small right now. I didn’t even really know about the different type of coats until yesterday lol my sister has a cat but I’m not sure what his coat is considered. I love my little baby though no matter what her coat is.

I think she could also belong on r/IllegallySmolCat Very cute baby. I hope she's doing well with a bottle. As she probably needs it with her smol size

She is so cute! What have you named her? She looks like a tabby / calico to me, but I imagine her coat may change as she ages 🐱

Unless it's coat changes significantly it's not a calico, I think it's a Tortoiseshell (tortie) with some tabby patterning. Seems to not have the patchiness of a calico. The colours are more diffuse.
Still 100% precious baby! Congrats! She is beautiful!

Just double checking — you’re bottle feeding her and giving her round the clock care, right? Or someone qualified is? It’s very important at this young age. The Kitten Lady on YouTube is a good resource.
