Baltimore County Humane Society Throws Cat Wedding

Luna and Winslow were married on Valentine’s Day of this year in a lavish ceremony at the Baltimore County Humane Society. The thing is, Luna was not the bride Winslow was originally supposed to marry, Comfrey was. Sounds like a huge deal right? Only if you’re human! You see Luna, Winslow, and Comfrey are all cats!

In their annual Valentine’s Day tradition, the staff at the humane society decided to throw a fabulous wedding fundraiser for two of their favorite furry friends. The morning of his wedding the groom, 10-month old Winslow, hung back in his decorated cage while his bride-to-be Comfrey received wedding gifts for the shelter during her bridal shower at a local PetSmart. Apparently Comfrey had such fun at her shower, when it came time for the big ceremony she refused to come out from underneath a cabinet.

Guests filled the ceremony location until it was standing room only as they waited for Winslow’s replacement-bride to be carried down the aisle. During the ceremony, the minister (I told you it was official!) announced that the crowd was there to witness “meowly catrimony” and the groom, in typical fashion, began to freak out. Luckily the planners got things back under control and the pair exchanged pink-charm collars and became husband and wife as guests cheered.

A local animal lover and food enthusiast donated a three-tiered cake for the reception and the newlyweds received gifts like paper towels, bleach, and cat litter. The Humane Society let Winslow and Comfrey (who was over her earlier fears) sleep in their “honeymoon suite”, A.K.A. separate but larger cages. After the ceremony the minister had this to say: "We'll see what the future brings. Like most brides and grooms, they behave themselves on their wedding day, and it goes downhill from there." Too cute!
