Happy New Year from Tortie Catz

We aren’t running the usual Tortie of the Week feature this week, instead we wanted to take a moment to celebrate all of the torties that make up Tortie Catz!

Below are just some of the torties that make up our community!

What started as a simple love for tortoiseshell cats has grown into something pretty special.

This year, the Tortie Catz community grew even more. We now have over 22,000 people on this email list, almost 5,000 followers on X and most amazingly, over 150,000 members in the Tortie Catz Facebook group!

This is the number one place on the internet for tortie lovers all over the world to share photos, stories, quirks and that unmistakeable tortie attitude we all adore.

Every Sunday, Tortie of the Week has landed in your inbox - celebrating one tortie at a time, and reminding us why these cats are so unique (and why we’re all a little obsessed)

Tortie Catz is now all about connection, joy and a shared love for these beautiful, chaotic, affectionate cats.

Thank you for being part of this community, whether you’ve been here from the start or joined us this year.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you and your torties a very happy end to the year. 🐾

And here’s to even more tortie magic in 2026.

With thanks,

Michael, Founder, Tortie Catz
