They're in rough shape, poor babies! I think you have a girl and a boy there, or maybe 2 girls. The first one is definitely a girl. The second one I'm not positive about---the opening looks round like a boy but there doesn't seem to be any room for testicles to grow in. It would be funny if they were both girls after she told you that :D. It's best to have the vet take a look when you bring them in for de-worming and stuff.

The ratio for orange cats is about 75% male to 25% female, so, yeah, orange boys are more common but orange girls aren't super rare.

Thank you so much! Both parents are wild, so they were really in rough shape! The dad is a long hair orange tabby and and she said the mom is orange and white calico.

If both parents were orange it may well be a female. They probably need baths, de-fleaing, and you could trim the fur on the fluffy one’s behind area so it stays cleaner. Do get them vet checked, and thank you for rescuing them! :)
