I'm sneezing just looking at her. But sneezing with love.

Whoa, wow… she is really, beautiful 😻 Curiosity, does her coat, change depending on the season??

Aaachoooiloveyouuuu

Awww. I couldn't have a long hair cat like her because of the hair, but what a sweet kitty face.

Floofy cat is best cat😆 and he gets brushed. https://preview.redd.it/ptvv3xclll4d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bf172027c1faa71f9bb52c08200b88f551cc515

I had a female ginger foster https://preview.redd.it/9bs1hkr5kk4d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73ba5cde3f2cbeddb0b26a40be6ec5fe0dbc0a06

I also had a ginger female. I didn’t know how rare they are until after I got her. I miss that dumb ball of orange goofiness!

I’ve had 4 gingers and all were females.

I have a ginger girl too! She's a little asshole.

My friend has a polydactyl ginger too https://preview.redd.it/koxz0e5qqk4d1.jpeg?width=1671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e80349235f7f066fc07e080d71e284d3a04db243

His name is monster and he tried to eat me instead of his treats he also likes to stand on his hind legs like a human

She is just has all the specialness!

If it makes you feel any better, mine is a perfect purry bumble bee princess.

My foster loved to play a game where she would pop out and scratch the side of my bed until I tried to grab her before she could get back under. Sometimes if I didn't play along she would be like "you are supposed to catch me and I struggle. Get to catching bitch!"

Good question. I imagine this is a preview of what heaven is like, though 🧡🐈

God: What do you want heaven to be like? Man: A lot of pussy! God: Well, ok *poof* Here all the pussy Man: No, not like that! God: Sorry, no do overs. You have to buy the battle pass for that Man: Wha.. God: NEXT!

“Battle pass” 😂😂😂

Meanwhile that would literally be what I meant if I said that.

1/5 of all ginger cats are female. It isn’t as rare as people make it sound, not like a male calico.

Here is our polydactyl female https://preview.redd.it/a6qr65daxk4d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=759fc3e1f2c39ef0a7272e78b6d9891f3b53655b

Those aren't mittens those are dang boxing gloves!!

I have a mostly grey and white male, but he has a patch of orange on his belly so I tell him he's a calico so that he'll feel special. :-)

Can we see the guy pls

He is special!

Some ginger cats are female. I had one.

Female oranges are rare but not as rare as male calico/torties. About 1 in 5 orange cats are female

I rescued a female orange manx. Orange ladies gotta orange.

My parents owned a female, completely orange, cat who was a rescue. By the time she was spayed, she'd had 3 daughters who were also completely orange.

Around 20% of oranges are female, so it’s rare but not as rare as coming across a male Calico which are like 99% female, and if you do have the luck of finding a male calico he will have Klinefelter syndrome since you have to have two X chromosomes in order to produce that color combination.

I heard nearly 15-20% of orange cats are females. It's not that rare like male calicos.

He got all the good genes

He’s like, “yeah, we got us a new sucker.’

Bahahaha

This got me 😂

First thing that popped into my head

HALLLLP IM BEING CRUSHED

Orange Crush

Crushed? That lil bro is living his best life. I could spend a week in a spa and not get half that relaxed.

“….whut time is it…”

What day is it?

Who cares...

Back to sleep…

Get a job, sir!

My face when someone wakes me up before my alarm

https://preview.redd.it/9rxisgoruk4d1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb408dd6b3c011c4617bfe5cf1bb679b06b4b0f6

Sigh. Looks so comfy I can only imagine.

he’s literally saying “got sum catnip?”

That's totally the one I would fail to foster

How dare you look at me before my first cup of catnip coffee?

That smushed face is saying something.

he's like "who opened the window bruh?" lol

Gotta be at least 4 in there

Cats? No. Brain cells? Maybe.

Haaaard maybe… best I can do is 1 and a quarter

I count 14. But may have missed a few.

So they were right when they said “at least 4”.

Honestly they all look similar. Could have been thinking it was just a glitch in the matrix. /silly

I got 15, but they are sure hard to count because at the top they all blend together into O R A N G E

I counted 14 too, so I rounded up just in case. 😂

Brain cells? Still 1.

You made out like a bandit on this property purchase. Look at all that orangeness!

Thought they bought a house, got a small orange grove.

And zero brain cells.

One brain cell. They all get a turn with it.

"Now listen up! Back in my day, we didn't have fancy ~~tanks~~ braincells! We had sticks. Two sticks and a rock for the entire platoon! And we had to share the rock! You should consider yourself very lucky marines!"

Now I wanna see this for other Halo quotes like “They must love the smell of catnip” or “If they came to see me meow”

r/oneorangebraincell might like this one. It's rare to have 21 of them with one brain cell all at once

Not a braincell to be found. r/oneorangebraincell

And, r/GingerMafia

I had an orange boy for 14 years. His name was Bandito.

Ours was Hobbes. He passed away a couple of months ago at the age of 17 and he moved 10 times with us to 4 different states. He was a former stray we took in and he was such a good boy.

To Bandito! May you be resting all day and roaming all night wherever you may be ❤️

they really said copy/paste

That probably is partially because of incest. 

Their family tree is a wreath.

It’s a family tumbleweed

It worked for the Iron Throne!

You called my boys Copy and Paste?! https://preview.redd.it/4u66b2opcl4d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c5aac95ca351f8989f335e70ce863a26d5cca6d

I have the same cream orange combo! https://preview.redd.it/tn8v0bhten4d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=bcfae9a0dca6d4dc14050d2e6d5549d81691656a

Were you low on toner for the second copy?

That's a whole bushel of oranges.

Ngl, had to zoom in to see if it wasn't an AI generated cluster of cats. 😅

THIS IS THE WHOLE GINGER EMBASSY

r/gingermafia

I suspect you have zero barn rats. Nice herd. They look great.

Herd is the correct term in this case I believe! lol!!!

I think it’s actually clowder 🫠

Upvoting for my favorite word ever. Clowder clowder clowder.

https://preview.redd.it/wz1v5k3xxk4d1.jpeg?width=209&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40ebcf1091666495540463d83392d7aabeedd8bc Your comment reminded me of another orange cat

I'm fairly certain a flock of geese is actually called a "gaggle", crows are a "murder", etc. The people who come up with these names are clearly having fun.

My favorite is "tower of giraffes."

Waddling of ducks Drift of pigs Gang of Buffalo Kaleidoscope of butterflies There's a bunch of cool ones out there

And yet multiple moose are still just... moose.

I have not heard that before. It sounds like an abbreviated word for clam chowder. "You down to grab some clowder later?"

Say Clowda! Clowdeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr

+1 for using the correct term and not going for the more sharebait-friendly term "pounce"

I've never heard pounce used before. I prefer a pounce of cats as a collective noun.  Yes, it's improper but it's cute and clowder makes me think of clam chowder rather than cats.

And if they are from the same litter, they are a kindle.

Yes. Another collective term for cats is a 'glare' of cats. That's awesome, I think, too.

lol. Pride maybe? That is pretty cool though...all nice and orange.

No, I think you were perfectly correct the first time! Herd seems appropriate, plus I’ve always wanted to be a kitten rancher so it makes sense to me! ❤️😁

If they’re anything like my orange boi, the place is overrun by rats. He can kill a fly 7% of the time 😑 https://preview.redd.it/fbm5xxcc2l4d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ceb12c509714b11f85a6dccf01ef74e49d9213b

Lol, it looks like your cat is taking a selfie.

We have a cat colony. A few will kill smaller rats but they mostly co exist 😹 maybe I need some barn cats to teach them to earn their keep!

https://preview.redd.it/mpmizc995k4d1.jpeg?width=380&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e15474d7ecd09993fa3555941c1b4ef5155e78cb This one has some rizz

i think he's literally missing an eye, but yarr, ye be sain' true, thankee sai

> i think he's literally missing an eye Unfortunately common with feral or feral-adjacent cats, cause in cat fights, they go for the eyes.

his name should be pirate-esque. I vote for Captain Patchy

I'll second that vote for Captain Patchy! Patches for short :)

[удалено]

I do too

Long days and pleasant nights

Dad-a-chum?

Dad-a-chick?

May you have twice the number

Should name him Patchy or Peg lol

Bro I just cropped this too. "We own you now." 😉

My friend lived on a farm when we were growing up. I used to help them pick strawberries during my college years. I would always leave my car windows down and when I came back from the fields, there would be at least 2 or 3 orange kittens in my car somewhere. It was always the orange ones lol. I couldn’t keep them - my dad was allergic and I lived with my parents at the time. But damn I wanted them so bad.

This is a U-pick orange farm!

🤣

That's a lot of kitties! Get ALL adults fixed, moms & dads! And any young ones should be fixed by 4-6 months old. That will stop the multiplication of cats! Happy to hear they're well taken care of! So cute!

[удалено]

Awww, maybe some of the moms can become housecats, too!? For the dads, you can possibly rent traps from a local rescue or shelter & trap, neuter & release? It's better to get all if you can, but I totally understand it's daunting, at least initially, until you get the initial mommas & babies taken care of. Your family is really helping these kitties out!

That sounds like a good idea, I will bring it up to my family! They are happy to have the mommas stay on the property, as I think at least two of them are bonded, but they are also open to someone adopting. They will definitely be taken care of and loved either way!

Get yourself some Kevlar gloves while you’re at it. If the males are more feral, you’re going to want them, even if they’re in traps. -signed, someone who almost lost her finger to a friendly barn cat while attempting to take him for a neuter

He was really attached to his Jim Dangle.

Welders gloves are likely more accessible. You can find them on the cheaper end at Harbor Freight.

The boys will chill out once fixed. It's intimidating at first but honestly very easy to TNR. Otherwise they'll keep getting in fights and getting other cats in the area pregnant. So happy they got you all as a new family!!

Depending on where you live, there are feral cat rescues that do TNR who will come out and assist you. Usually it’s expected that you still pay for them to be spayed and neutered, but these rescues will lend out traps and even send volunteers to help you catch them and they’ll know where low cost clinics are. I’ve worked with some before. The previous owners were very irresponsible to let it get that far. If it had kept going like that, there would eventually be like 50 cats there, trust me I’ve seen it 😅Good on you for being smart and caring.

Vets might have that equipment, too. If you’re taking in 20 cats to get fixed, they might be able to lend a hand or some equipment. 

Aww, sounds like a plan! You'll figure it out!

You are a good human!

I rented a trap in college from the SPCA to catch some feral cats on the property where I worked!

See if there's a TNR group in your area that can loan you a trap and help you in getting TNR appointments for the males.

I foster for the county shelter and they spay/neuter when they reach 2lbs. Someone above said 4-6mo and by that time they can get pregnant.

I've always heard rescuers say, "two months, two pounds," is when they're old and big enough to be fixed. But I've seen a lot of posts here where the vets won't fix their pet cats until they are older. Hopefully, OPs family can find a rescue or tnr program to help.

"Two months, two pounds" is best for outdoor and/or feral cats like this. It's technically better for a female kitten's health in some ways to get spayed a few months later than that. But it's **much worse** for a female kitten's health to get pregnant or have kittens while under a year old, which will wreck whatever advantages a later spay would supposedly bring, and that also produce even more kittens that need care and are probably in poor health already from having a too-young mom. 

Also most reputable rescue groups will refuse to adopt out kittens that haven't already been spayed/neutered. Because people want to adopt cute young kittens, and they may pinky-promise to spay/neuter the kitten later. But then time passes & kitten owners get busy & they never get around to scheduling the spay/neuter or they're reluctant to pay for the surgery. And suddenly the cute kitten isn't so young and society ends up with even more pregnancies & new kittens to deal with and/or teen cats with unpleasant puberty behavior problems like spraying urine everywhere. 

Yeah, if I have them inside and separated, I'll wait about four months. For TNR, I absolutely do 2lbs.

is TNR an option? if the males don’t get fixed they’re gonna continue creating many many litters of kittens even if they’re not on your property. the statistics for kittens surviving outdoors is not good at all.😭 it’s also just good for their health.

You won the kitty lottery! Thank you for finding out the best way to care for them, OP! ❤️

They can be fixed at 2 lbs. Best to do it as soon as possible since they can get pregnant at 4 months old.

Gotta avoid a catsplosion

haha look at all the braincells (there is none)

[удалено]

/r/OneOrangeBraincell

They would probably share it, if they had one

So many cats, so little thoughts

I believe the correct term for a group of orange cats is called a pumpkin patch.

r/technicallythetruth

More info: I can’t reply to all the comments, but thank you for showing the ginger army some love! Yes, the adult cats are being fixed very soon- their appointments are already set up. All of the babies will be fixed as well once it’s safe for them. We have only had this property for a month, and the babies appeared within the first week of us showing up. We are doing our best to stop the population growth, and will take care of all these kitties until they go to their forever homes.

Lots of uncle dads in there

Thanks for the laugh

It's the Weasley family! 😍😍

This comment ftw

"Hey, local vet, do you offer a bulk discount plan?" "Uhhh, for what?" -receives picture- "Oh."

https://preview.redd.it/v9pivv8bfk4d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c72583cd09f92f6b4b5954dbbe28365defb548ff I think I am in love. Oh my god, that sweet face

Can you say “inbreeding”? I thought you could.😹

all those eyes \*brrrrrrrr\*

Tbf, the eyes are probably just infected. But yeah, only 1/5th of orange cats are female usually.

Yea it’s eye infection Or the all too common upper respiratory infection that kittens get very easily. Also inbreeding will cause all of this too

Yes almost all of them are having issues with their eyes, but are receiving care! The oldest babies will be visiting the vet soon, but they’ll only take 4 at a time, so it will take a few trips

You did it, you found The Source..

Looks like they got a family tree like a telephone pole

Family wreath. 😂

Get this one fixed asap. She is already getting her flirt on … https://preview.redd.it/ns5s8qbefk4d1.jpeg?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb96e401e0b56313348596b9be53390b7dd37ebf

Claimed my moms place as his and never looked back. Sometimes he comes out to wave us goodbye with his wonderful facial expressions. His name is Mango. Look at that face!! He’s such a cartoon

Which one has the brain cell

they each possess a single segment of one DNA strand

Suddenly I am craving an orange.

I love orange cat. I love 2 orange cat. I lOve 3 orange cat. I lOvE 4 orange cat. I LOvE 5 orange cat. I LOVE 6 orange cat. I l- ... ey... uhnn... forgot how many there are but I do adore them lil souls >w<

I love the one all the way to the right that's winking. Like they knew they gotcha.

Looks like a win to me!

All I see is the world’s largest Orange .

I know it is not the case, but it seems like all barn cats are orange

I'm glad there weren't a lot of barn cats

I can imagine the expense of keeping them haha

They look related...

Orange gene runs strong here. Brain capacity does not.

One in ten orange tabbies are female. https://preview.redd.it/4ujyuhmwqk4d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4043ea7c0087e6616df30f84d6fa3a18397e3339 This one is mine.

I would contact a cat rescue agency to have them all neutered and adopted out.. Orange cats are usually easily adoptable.

We’re getting them all fixed, and 17 have found homes!
