November 5th, National Redhead Day, was founded a decade ago to empower humans with red hair. But this year, Best Friends Animal Society is extending the love to tabby cats.
The nationally operated no-kill animal organization says cats are the most at-risk animal in American shelters.
According to Best Friends Animal Society, orange cats are referred to as tabby, marmalade, or ginger cats, and they all have patterned fur. There's no such thing as a solid orange cat! A defining feature is the "M" shape on the cat's forehead. There are more male orange cats than females.
Orange cats are larger than most other breeds, according to the shelter, and they tend to have friendly and funny personalities.
Check out this video posted by the organization for more orange cat facts.
Jim Davis, creator of the "Garfield" comics once said, “In my head, the sky is blue, the grass is green and cats are orange.”
Visit their shelter or their website to learn more about adopting or fostering.
