Adorable shelter kitten helps man propose to girlfriend

ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. — A tiny kitten played a major role in a man’s marriage proposal the day before Thanksgiving in New York.

Jerad Forsyth met girlfriend Kat Woodley on a blind date on Thanksgiving Day 2014. Two years later, he was ready to pop the question and decided to pop the question with the help of a kitten the couple were adopting at the SPCA in Erie County.

Gandalf the kitten was fitted with a tag that read, “Will you marry me?” Woodley thought she was being filmed for an adoption video, but instead SPCA staff asked her to check the kitten’s tag and then Forsyth emerged to formally propose.

Can't think of a better way to head into the Thanksgiving holiday! Love is in the air here at the SPCA! That's a "Will You Marry Me?" tag on tiny kitten Gandalf! After meeting on a blind date Thanksgiving 2014, Jerad knew Kat (yes, her name is Katherine!) was the only one for him...and decided to tell her so with a proposal moments ago when she came in to adopt Gandalf! Kat thought she was being filmed for an adoption video...but we knew otherwise! Congratulations to the happy couple - lots to be thankful for!!!
