Hi there...although male calicos are rare, they are not considered any more valuable than other domestic short hair breeds.
Photos of a long haired Calico: http://community.marion.ia.us/lynda/pets/mamma_cat.jpg
Long Haired Calico/Tortoiseshell: http://hhpcc.org/pastwins/BINT00.jpg
See the following article under the heading: TORTOISESHELL AND CALICO TOMCATS
http://www.messybeast.com/mosaicism.htm
Despite their rarity, tortoiseshell tomcats are not valuable in the financial sense. They have scientific value. Those that are fertile cannot pass on the tortoiseshell colour - you cannot breed more tortoiseshell males from them. As pets they are just like any other cat. As pedigree cats, there may be no colour class for them to enter so however fine they look, so they may be unable to win prizes (some breeds/shows have an "Any Other Colour" class). The abnormalities which have created a tortoiseshell male may also make him more susceptible to auto-immune disease or testicular tumours.
In short, if you have a tortoiseshell male cat, he is not going to make you rich! Even the minority of fertile tortie tomcats are not valuable in money terms because they don't breed true. So next time you see someone advertising a "rare tortie male" on Ebay, usenet or a bulletin board, you can wonder who is more gullible - the person expecting to make a fortune or the person who pays over-the-odds because they think the cat is going to make them a fortune!

Put an ad in the paper and set a price. Or there are sites that you can go to, to help you sell her. She sounds like a calico I had once. But since I have a dog now, cats are out in this house...

the description that you gave is not a calico..they are tri colored (with orange). your cat sounds like a mix of some kind...but you can still sell him ...just place an ad in your local paper with his photo.

I prefer hair that will is shoulder length or longer, And also since that men who like ladies are more often then not straight, they like long hair because this looks more feminine, as most guys have short hair.
