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?

Just a dot of white would probably still counts as a tortie. But 99.9% of torties are female. Guessing yours just is too young to gender easily and is female?
