Adopted!

Excellent news of Cara Cara's adoption!

It's rather uncommon to find a female orange tabby since orange males outnumber orange females by about three to one, meaning orange female tabbies only happen about 20-25% of the time. This is because in order for an orange tabby female to be born, it would require for both parents to have an orange coat gene, so that the XX combination determines that they must be red. That makes them more uncommon than males (because in males the X gene in the XY combination takes over, so that even if both parents were not orange, a cat with an X orange gene will be orange - it happens more often in other words).

However, generally speaking, the orange tabby personality, regaurdless of gender is usually that of a very sweet, very devoted cat and Cara Cara is going to bring much love to her human companions as only an orange tabby can do!
