      It means tortoise shell coloring. It’s similar to Calico, but it’s not an actual genetic phase.

      it’s usually an abbreviated form of ‘tortoise-shell’ – a fur pattern that usually has sworls and whirls of brown and black fur in patches, sometimes on a white background.

      Tortishell is a color, there is never any white on a torti, if there is white, its calico. Torti is mixture of black brown and grey, in any pattern. congratulations on your new kitten!
