Thats not just a rare orange female, but a dilute orange (or buff) female, which makes her an extremely uncommon cat. She looks just like my buff boy. I’d call her Buffy but that’s too obvious, so if she were my cat she’d be Slayer, but I was a teenager in the 90’s…
Poor girl was found sitting at my back door about a day ago, vet thought she was maybe 8 weeks at most, turns out she’s 6 months. she has her adult AND baby teeth still in (yes 2 sets of teeth 😭), and she won’t get much bigger than this due to prolonged malnutrition. she’s getting all the love and medical care now though
TW: broken kitty bones
My Sophie was similar. Found at about 5-6 months at just under 2 lbs with a compound fracture to front leg that was not a fresh break but so broken that the bones were not touching at all. Think z shape.
She was all bones and voracious. The vet told me over the phone to feed her wet kitten food every three hours and to start with small amounts and work up for the first week. Later the Dr couldnt sedate because under weight but the leg didn’t seem to cause pain so they gently pressed it into a splint and she sat for it. No one thought it would do anything but the vet left the room that day after saying these words, “cats are magic.”
She gained weight and started growing so fast. She pulled the splint off the day we were scheduled to go in and have it off and her leg had a little bend to it but it had set! She continued to grow and “caught up” and now she is a beautiful, healthy 9ish lb 4 year old cat. She has a slight swagger to her walk like John Wayne and you can’t tell her leg was ever anything but normal at this point.
Your girl has a beautiful fox look to her.

Best of luck to you and your new kitty and please do post progress/name update!
Okay two suggestions
Foxie: After another brightly colored animal that's beautiful coloring stands out when roaming the snow.
Daffodil: A gold flower that bloomes in the late winter/ early Spring. She kinda matches them
Cinnamon, or Canela, which is cinnamon in Spanish.
Marmalade, Luna, or Penelope.
As a side note, do you think she's old enough to be pregnant? Her belly looks pretty round to me.
her belly is really distended because she was in starvation :( her bones are very prominent when i touch her. Vet checked her out! She’s 6 months but is the size of an 8 week old
Aera, a name that means "love," or Nari, which means "lily" in Korean. Your dear girl is obviously in need of a Korean name, because she sports aegyosal creases under her eyes, which are super rare in cats and are considered so beautiful in Korea that makeup is used to create this effect.
Are you sure she is a she? That might make a difference 😀 While not unheard of, it is kind of rare for an orange cat to be female. I think the statistic is something like 90% are male.
I had a soft diluted orange girl for over 12 years. Her kidneys became damaged after I gave her wet food made in China. It was a big thing with pet food made in China at the time that they had melamine in it. Her name was Matea. I hope you have many wonderful years with your new baby.
Orange cats are so sweet and snuggly. We took in Nacho, the sweetest, most loving and funny orange cat ever when my husband’s brother died unexpectedly. Unfortunately our cat, Salami, haaaated him and created chaos in our household. With broken hearts, we found him a perfect home thru friends of ours and is happy as can be.
Nacho, Cheeto, OJ, Marmalade…
Thank you for rescuing her. Awesome. May I suggest putting litter pan in more private area, not next to food. Cat's use any excuse to not use the lier.
This, they don’t like to shit where they eat OP, it’s biologically engrained for survival to not contaminate food and water. Many cats don’t even like their food and water next to each other for the same reason, to keep their water source clean.
She’s so cute, congrats on the cat distribution system choosing you.
I don’t know why but the first name that popped in my head was Abby (or Abbie). She’s such a pretty and lucky girl. Thank you for giving her a good warm home! ♥️♥️♥️

I came to the comments to suggest Peaches! She's such a Peaches.

Daffodil. You plant the bulbs in the winter and they need that cold cycle to bloom in the spring
Creamsicle. 🐾🐾🐈👣❤❤❤❤🏡🌎
Orange females are rare and the name should reflect that. So a gem name Coral, Sardonyx, Topaz or Opal.

Daffodil is great!
Rarity. Because orange girls are quite rare!
Are you sure she’s a girl?? Orange tabby girls are so rare omg. Anyways. Brick, beans, leaf.
yes, the vet confirmed ☺️ I have another young orange girl as well! was really surprised
Thank you so much for stepping up for this little lady. Rare to find a female of that color. Give her a good life and you rock for saving her!!
clementine
Peaches!!
Sandy, for color and irony.
Elsa She's a Snow Princess ❄️
Yuki (snow in Japanese) Nieve (snow in Spanish) Buttercup Chiffon Sorbet (I like this because it's a cold dessert)
Cinnamon, or Canela, which is cinnamon in Spanish. Marmalade, Luna, or Penelope. As a side note, do you think she's old enough to be pregnant? Her belly looks pretty round to me.
her belly is really distended because she was in starvation :( her bones are very prominent when i touch her. Vet checked her out! She’s 6 months but is the size of an 8 week old
Pip

She’s gorgeous! So kind of you to save her💕
Peaches
Comment. She will probably prefer to have her food a bit farther away from the litter box. Thank you for rescuing her.
she’s been gobbling up that food like there’s no tomorrow lol but yes it completely slipped my mind i’ll definitely have to move it over thank u!
Yuki - Japanese for “snow” 🥰
How about carrot.. maybe she fell off a snowman
Elsa
Rasha, also orange female cats are rare as heck
Lucky
Peachy is the name my daughter thinks you should use.
Aera, a name that means "love," or Nari, which means "lily" in Korean. Your dear girl is obviously in need of a Korean name, because she sports aegyosal creases under her eyes, which are super rare in cats and are considered so beautiful in Korea that makeup is used to create this effect.
