The Original Idea
Timpf’s unconventional request:

Asked guests to save/rehome animals instead of buying presents
Included a list of high-kill shelters nationwide
Offered to match the first 50 adoptions

The Movement It Created
Within weeks:

Over 2,300 animals were adopted in “Team Timpf” campaigns
#WeddingRescueChallenge went viral
Pet adoption rates hit record numbers in 17 states

The Unexpected Twist

Fox News' Kat Timpf Outlines Next Steps Following Breast Cancer Diagnosis
When a Fox News camera crew surprised Timpf with footage of adopted pets from her guests, the usually unflappable commentator broke down in tears on air. “This is better than any toaster,” she sniffled.

What’s Next
Timpf and her husband are now developing a nonprofit that partners with wedding registries nationwide. “Turns out,” she deadpans, “love is the only thing that should be unleashed at weddings.”
