Best Answer

A fertile male calico or tortoiseshell is very rare. Tortoiseshells are identified by the presence of orange in their fur. Calicos are the same, but have a large amount of white which makes the fur patched rather than mottled. If your calico male has mated with a female, it does not necessarily mean he is fertile. If the female becomes pregnant and there is absolutely no way of her having mated with a cat besides your male calico, then he must be fertile. Bear in mind that breeding a calico male does not increase the chances of getting male calico kittens.

No, calico cats are pretty common. It is very rare to see a male calico cat, especially one that is full-grown, because almost all male calicos have genetic defects that kill them as kittens.
