That might be tough to get it exactly right. It looks like a complex hybrid - Blc or Potinara maybe.

Youve got a complex hybrid there---
I will have to say it looks something like this-- but I could be off, regardless of whether you find the name or not, its a lovely flower

This site has some that look similar

I agree with Royal. You might just have to give it a Noid name like 'Noid Yellow Beauty' just so you can identify it when not in bloom. I've had to do that with a few without tags too. You are lucky to have such a beautiful cat with so many blooms.

I have made several research an I have couple of possibilities:
1. Mericlone Of BTL. Tainan Gold

2. Blc Color Magic "Mandenhall" AM/AOS

I think our Home Depot get their orchids from "Better-Gro Orchids". Look at the tag of other orchids where you bought it and perhaps you can determine where it can from. Then send a copy of the pic. to them to identify. I had an orchid that came from Carter Holmes but not identification of orchid name and I sent them a picture when it bloomed and they gave me the name of the orchid. No harm in trying.

I got one from Home Depot that was a Better-Gro and the picture looks identical to your blooms. Mine hasn't bloomed yet, though. Mine is Blc. Chuen-Yeah 'Good Life'. Perhaps you could check that out? Good luck!

I found a pic, looks exactly like yours. Caption on pic: Cattleya hybrid developed from the yellow C. dowiana. Hopes this helps.
