a blue orgy
a blue car
a cat orgy

All the same basic format. The cat does not OWN the orgy. Instead you are telling what KIND of orgy.

So in my opinion, singular, non possessive.
That one makes sense to me, it is the orgy that is singular rather than the cats, and you're right about it being an adjective. But it needs to be clear that cat means small furry animals rather than its other human-related meaning.
