(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Meet Ravi, the Cat Who Loves Too Much

Ravi isnā€™t just affectionateā€”heā€™s extremely affectionate. The 8-year-old cat was surrendered to a Connecticut vet clinic for the most heartbreaking reason: his family found him too loving. Luckily, the staff saw his sweetness for what it was and contacted The Little Guild, a rescue that welcomed him with open arms.

At the shelter, Ravi quickly became a favorite. He adores people, snuggling into laps, following staff members like a tiny shadow, and even getting along with other cats. His only demand? Endless love and attention. Itā€™s no surprise that heā€™s captured so many heartsā€”over 100 people have applied to adopt him.

Ravi isnā€™t picky about his future home. As long as his adopter enjoys constant cuddles, heā€™ll be the happiest cat in the world. And, with countless adoption applications plus a personality as loving as his, thereā€™s no doubt Ravi will find the perfect forever home soon.

This sweet, snuggly boy has already won so many heartsā€”now itā€™s just a matter of finding the one that will love him back just as much.

Cat of the Day, Butternut Bartholomew

Daily Purr reader Melanie shares her affectionate orange boy, Butternut Bartholomewā€”better known as Butters! This sweet kitty is all about love, showing his affection through loud purrs, head-butts, slow blinks, and plenty of biscuit-making.

Butters adores his humans and fur-siblings, Mazie the doodle and Austin Kitty, a black American Shorthair. Heā€™s also the official household lobbyist for morning treats and never lets his family forget when itā€™s time for dinner at 5 PM sharp!

Thanks, Melanie, for sharing Butters' charming personality! Want to see your cat featured as the Daily Purr Cat of the Day? Send in a photo and some fun facts about your kittyā€”they might be next!

Adopting a Cat? These Questions Are Essential

Bringing home a shelter cat is an exciting decision, but how do you know if theyā€™re the right match? Asking these key questions can help you find the perfect feline companion.

  • What is the catā€™s medical history: Check if theyā€™ve been vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and tested for FeLV or FIV. Knowing their health status helps you prepare for any future care needs.

  • Does the cat have any litter box issues?: Some cats may have past accidents due to stress, medical conditions, or litter preferences. Itā€™s good to know if adjustments may be needed.

  • Has the cat lived with other pets?: If you have other animals at home, itā€™s important to know if the cat has experience with dogs, other cats, or prefers being the only pet.

  • What is the catā€™s personality like?: Some cats are affectionate lap cats, while others are more independent. Shelters can give insight into their behavior.

  • How much grooming does the cat need?: Long-haired breeds require regular brushing, while short-haired cats tend to groom themselves.

  • What is the adoption fee and what does it include?: Fees vary and may cover vaccinations, microchipping, and spay/neuter surgery.

  • What food is the cat currently eating?: Switching food too quickly can cause digestive issues. Ask what theyā€™ve been eating to make a smooth transition.

By asking these questions, youā€™ll be better prepared to welcome a shelter cat into your home and give them the love and care they deserve!
