LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) — The Purrfect Day Cat Café is known for happy endings as they pair cats in need with their forever homes.
On November 25, a young man named Matthew decided to celebrate a happy beginning by proposing to his girlfriend in the ‘purrfect’ way!
The best part? The whole thing was caught on camera!
In the video, a Purrfect Day employee hands Matthew a kitten named Shiloh. Matthew then takes the kitten over to his girlfriend, Skylar, dropping to one knee as he presents it to her. It’s then that Skylar realizes that the kitten has – that’s right – an engagement ring tied around its neck.
The room falls silent as Skylar covers her mouth in shock. After the couple exchanges a few quiet words, you can hear Skylar exclaim a tearful “Yeah!” followed by a laugh – “It’s a cat!”
Matthew gently puts the kitten down and slides the ring on Skylar’s finger. Music starts to play and everyone in the room applauds as the couple hugs and shares a kiss.
“Our very first proposal!” Chuck Patton from Purrfect Day cheers from behind the camera. Skylar, overwhelmed with emotion, just can’t stop smiling.
The couple posed for a post-engagement pic that Purrfect Day Cat Cafe posted on their Facebook page. According to Mr. Patton, Matthew and Skylar are both frequent visitors to the cat cafe, which just passed 400 adoptions this week!
While the couple's current lease kept them from taking Shiloh home, we still think that this proposal was absolute "purr"fection!
