Please Help Me In Identification

Yes, as far as I know, this is correct. The alleles O (coding for orange) and o (coding for not orange) sit on the X-chromosome. So, for a female cat (XX), if they inherit OO they will be orange, oo they won’t be orange, and Oo they will be a tortie, torbie, or calico. Therefore, in order for a female cat to have the OO genotype, they need to inherit one O allele from each parent. This means that dad needs to be orange, and mom needs to either be a orange or a tortie.

Thanks @abyeb I figured you would know this.

This is true for every breed or just some specific ones? Also, if a kitten is red/orange tabby, both his parents have to be orange and it can’t be like one orange and one some other colour?

It would be true of every breed and the dad has to be orange and the mother orange or a tortie.

Thanks to every person who helped me here. I don’t know how to tag people here but each one of you has been immensely helpful to me. I am finally getting a cat home. I will start a new thread to introduce her to everyone. Thanks again
