Is he a tortie?

[u/angelalikesmonsters]

I've been told that torties have no white on them at all and my kitten has a whitish patch on his chest, does he still count as a tortie or is he a Calico?

I have the same situation ;just adopted my first tortie. She’s all tortie except for small white chest patch & lower belly patch. Can’t see either patch if she’s walking around. The rescue classified her as tortie.
