There is no real scientific name for the calico cat, all cats are grouped under Felis catus.

Because two unrelated calico cats can have as much genetic similarity as a Persian and a Siamese, there is no scientific way of grouping them.

All domestic cats, no matter what the breed, fall under the genus of Felis Catus, which is the Scientific name for the domestic cat.
