Happy Cat-o-ween: Shipt Shopper Delivers the “Purr-fect” Cat Costumes

Holiday shopping can bring delightful surprises like delivering cat Halloween costumes straight to a customer’s door. 

When Shopper Jamie picked up a Shipt order earlier this month, she was delighted to see Halloween-themed items on the list. Who doesn’t love to get into the spooky spirit this time of year? As she scrolled through the shopping list she paused–four cat costumes were included, along with other Halloween items–she was intrigued. 

“At first I wasn’t sure who she was dressing up but it became apparent that the costumes were for her cats. At delivery I told her that I would live vicariously through her dress-up plans. Less than 10 minutes after delivery, she sent me photos of said cats who looked as excited as you can imagine cats would,” said Jamie.

Like most Shipt Shoppers, Jamie is used to shopping for grocery orders, home items, and other daily necessities for customers. This order stood out and made Jamie’s day a little sillier.

“I told her that her list was the most fun list that I had had all day. Her whole list was Halloween items,” remarked Jamie. 

Wanting to keep the fun going, Rebecca, the customer, opened the costumes right away and sent Jamie an update of what her shop provided to their family (and cats!). So she rounded up the cats, Pretzel, Pickle, Pop Tart, and Cheeto to get dressed up.

“I decided to see if I could get the kitties in their costumes to share the photos with [Jamie] thinking she'd enjoy them since she seemed like a pet lover. It made the day a little brighter!”

Jamie shared that her favorite part about Shipt shopping is making connections and sparking joy with customers like Rebecca. 

When she isn’t shopping, Jamie and her family are taking care of their many pets–including dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, and more– and running a small business. Jamie noted that all her work includes aspects of customer service, and she loves spending her time serving others. 

“Shipt is my favorite part-time endeavor because of these opportunities to connect with customers,” she said. 

Happy Halloween to all Shipt Shoppers, customers, and their furry friends!
