Move over, bouquet toss—there’s a new wedding tradition in town, and it’s helping shelter cats find loving homes.
FairyTail Pet Care, a company specializing in wedding pet care, recently showcased the viral “cat toss” trend in a TikTok video that amassed over 4 million views. Instead of throwing a bouquet, the bride and groom hurled a plush cat toy into the crowd, with one catch: The guest who caught it had to adopt a shelter cat. (Only eager future pet parents participated, of course.)
A Competitive Twist on Wedding Traditions
The toss turned into an entertaining showdown, with one determined bridesmaid stealing the show. She blocked competitors with her elbows, leapt to deflect the plush cat midair, and even dove to the ground to secure her victory—and her new feline friend. The effort paid off: FairyTail Pet Care confirmed two kittens were adopted at the wedding.
Why This Trend Is a Win
Unlike awkward garter tosses or half-hearted bouquet grabs, the “cat toss” (or “puppy toss,” for dog lovers) adds excitement while supporting a good cause. With millions of shelter animals in need of homes, this playful twist could inspire more couples to combine celebration with charity.
As a seasoned wedding planner, I can confidently say: This trend is a keeper.
