Description:
Pumpkin is a truly lovely Tortoiseshell kitten. She and her littermates were rescued from behind the office building where they were born. Thank goodness for the woman who went out of her way to change their future! According to her, "Pumpkin is a typical female in that one minute she wants to play, the next she prefers to be left alone. She is definitely one of the prettiest little kittens I have seen. She has a particularly interesting look because her eyes are slightly crossed, almost like that of a Siamese. It makes her tilt her head whenever she is really interested in something, almost like a dog. Her socialization is coming nicely, though, and I expect her to make a great addition to a family. "

Now, I have to tell you, the first time someone told me a we had gotten in a Tortoiseshell, well, I kinda was wondering what happened to the tortoise! I'm sure you know exactly what a Tortoiseshell is, but juuuuust in case you don't, let me show off for a moment. A Tortoiseshell is not a breed but is, instead, a referance to the coloring of their coat. According to the book "For The Love Of Cats"Tortoiseshell cats have a coat with a combination of any one solid color and red or cream. These colors may be completely mixed as in brindled tortoiseshell or separate as in patched tortoiseshell. The solid color may be black, brown, blue, chocolate, lilac, cinnamon, fawn, or golden."

"Torties" are almost always female. See how smart we are now!?!
