No. Cats Protection says roughly two thirds of ginger cats are male and a third are female. The rescue's profile will say whether a particular ginger cat is male or female.

Why are most ginger cats male?

Because the ginger gene is on the X chromosome. Cats Protection says a male cat, with one X chromosome, needs only one copy of the gene mutation to be ginger, while a female, with two X chromosomes, needs it on both, which is less likely.

Are ginger cats good with children?

It depends on the cat, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 2 ginger cats listed in Cheshire as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the cat could live with.
