Sally Shares Desmond’s Adoption Story

Sometimes, the perfect cat finds you when you least expect it. For Daily Purr reader Sally, that’s exactly what happened. After losing her beloved cat Jonesey to cancer, she wasn’t sure when she’d be ready to adopt again, but fate had other plans.

As the founder of Mission Meow Inc., a nonprofit supporting small feline-focused organizations, Sally was connected to Community Cat Club—one of the groups her organization had helped. They reached out with condolences and an offer to help find her the perfect match when the time was right.

Sally had a vision: a black-and-white male with a pink nose who loved other cats (and hopefully, her too). To her surprise, they already had a cat in mind. When she met Desmond, it was clear—he was meant to be part of the family.

Adopted on the same day Community Cat Club received their grant, Desmond’s homecoming was extra special. Now, as he prepares to celebrate his first birthday, he’s a beloved little brother to three feline siblings and has helped heal his family’s hearts.

A big thank you to Community Cat Club for making this perfect match happen! And thank you to Daily Purr reader Sally for sharing Desmond’s adoption story with us.

Why Your Cat Might Be Itching More Than Usual

Does your cat seem itchier than usual? Maybe they’re sneezing more, licking their paws obsessively, or dealing with an upset stomach. Just like humans, cats can have allergies that make them uncomfortable, and figuring out the cause can take some detective work.

The most common cat allergies fall into four main categories:

  • Flea Allergies – Some cats are so sensitive that even one flea bite can trigger severe itching, hair loss, and scabs.

  • Food Allergies – Ingredients like chicken, beef, or grains can cause digestive issues or itchy skin, making an elimination diet the best way to pinpoint the culprit.

  • Environmental Allergies – Pollen, dust, and mold can lead to sneezing, watery eyes, or skin irritation—especially during certain seasons.

  • Contact Allergies – Certain shampoos, cleaning products, or fabrics may cause redness or irritation on your cat’s skin.

If your cat is struggling with allergies, don’t worry—there are solutions. From switching their food to using hypoallergenic bedding or trying medication, a little trial and error can go a long way. If symptoms persist, your vet can help you get to the bottom of it.

What It Really Means When Cats Headbutt

Ever had your cat bump their head against you and wondered what it meant? That little nudge—technically called a head bunt—is more than just an adorable habit. It’s a form of scent marking, a way to bond, and for some cats, a request for attention.

When your cat headbutts you, they’re depositing pheromones from glands near their ears, marking you as part of their inner circle. In multi-cat homes, headbutting also helps create a shared colony scent, reinforcing social bonds. Confident cats tend to headbutt more often, while shy cats may express affection in other ways, like slow blinking or rubbing against your legs.

If your cat greets you with a headbutt, consider it an honor. It’s their way of saying, “You’re mine, and I trust you.”
