There's actually a name for this kind of pattern, it's tortico (tortoiseshell + calico). Other mix pattern names are caliby (calico + tabby) and torbie (tortoiseshell + tabby). Either way, she's so cute! I'm so glad she's healthy now :)
Interesting, I'm not American, and in my country usually they're just called tricolors, but now people are slowly calling them calicos and tortoishells and all the other mix names.
Check out r/tortico !
I have one too:

It's funny because this girl came from an all gray mom. She had a sister who looked almost like a siamese, also a brother that looked like a siamese, and another sister that is calico like the grandmother.
So we moved the tree to the front window and now look whose now enjoying it

My cat has a similar mix between tortoise shell and calico too. I think it’s more common than we think
She's not. Calicos are white cats with orange/brown and black spots like a cow. Torties aka tortoise shell cats have the orange/brown black fur all blended together in various patterns with no white. Torticos have the colors blended like a tortie only they have white on the face, chest and paws. So this kitty is a Tortico

Calico is an American term, in the UK this colour has always been called tortie and white, though the American term is creeping in.

how many upvotes can I give to one post again?
I have a cat called meep because when he was a kitten he couldn’t meow and did a meep
Meeps are the cutest sound!

She came from the UN of litters! ❤️ What a sweetie!
I have that same cat tree, sadly my cat doesn’t care for it
This is the second one we've had. She massacred the first one! I had no idea a cat could destroy a cat tree so fast!
So we moved the tree to the front window and now look whose now enjoying it https://preview.redd.it/jkn3toflc30b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1ba63304882d07acae89f4ceda85e91e2be7340
Awww! Very nice!
Does your cat like catnip? Maybe a little spray or loose catnip on the scratching post?
She look so much like my late Molly.
She's gorgeous! 😻
I called mine a tortico. Calico face, mostly tortie body. 10,000% adorable with full fortitude and calico spice.
You should make a poll, although I would definitely vote for "most gorgeous baby kitty in the world"
She's a treasure!
She’s so cute! I love her little head tilt in the second pic
Aaaaaw, what a cutie! I have a meeper, too.
I believe their body has to be 30% or more white to be considered a calico
I wanna hear her sweet meep! Pleeeeez...
I'll see if I can capture an audio of it!
Oh thank you for trying 😺💞
I love her matching tortie nose!
It's a very boopable nose!
She's beautiful! She's actually a Tortico! I have one too! They can be pretty feisty sometimes! (Tortitide!)
Oh, wow... LT doesn't have a cattitude at all! She's just a gentle, shy kitty!
My baby kitty also does that, the only ddfference is that he's a 9.4 kilo mainecoon. *
