ginger cat names
If you’ve just adopted an orange cat, congratulations! This list of orange cat names is designed to help you find the perfect names for your little ginger-colored feline. Choosing the perfect names can be difficult, so we’ve created this list of good names for orange cats to help you find the right one. According to researchers at UC Berkeley, all orange cats are considered tabbies and about 80 percent of all orange tabbies are male, so the majority of these are male orange cat names. But of course there are also some orange female cat names here too.

You might also be interested in seeing a list of tabby cat names, but for orange tabby cat names, this is the place!

This list has unisex, as well as, orange male cat names and orange female cat names. Inspired by pumpkins, tigers, oranges, butterflies and, of course, Garfield and Heathcliff, this list of orange kitten names is made just for you and your little orange kitten. Fun little tip (and depending on where you are from you may already know this): some places would call this a list of ginger cat names, not orange! You may be a red-head in some countries, but a ginger in others, and the same goes for your little basketball-colored cutie!
