Jerad Forsyth and Kat Woodley met on a blind date and fell in love almost instantly. Jerad decided to propose to Kat after two years together, and he wanted it to be exceptional. Fortunately, the couple was planning to adopt a kitten from a nearby shelter, and Jerad recognized this as his chance.
Jerad went to the shelter and acquired Gandalf, a cute gray cat. He also informed the Erie County SPCA of his plans, and they were eager to assist him.
Jerad had to go to work, so Kat went to the Erie County SPCA on her own to pick up the cat. What she didn’t know was that her partner was planning a surprise proposal for her at the SPCA.
“I was taken aback… They brought [a cat] to me with the request that I read the tag. “I believed Jerad’s aunt got us the name tag because she works at the SPCA,” Kat explained.
Kat was taken aback when she read the tag around the kitty’s collar, which said, “Will you marry me?” Jerad appeared the following second, dressed in a suit and kneeling to propose to her.
Kat was overjoyed and happily said “yes” to Jerad and the kitten. The entire incident was captured on camera by the SPCA, which went viral almost immediately.
Jerad and Kat, who are both animal lovers, are now a family of four, with a puppy named Shamus and a rescue kitty. Best wishes to the happy couple!
