About Dad Purrfect
The Story Behind Dad Purrfect
It all started with a bag of marshmallows and an orange cat drawing, connecting both the child and dad in some creative, organic, playful fun. From those perfect moments of connection and creativity came Dad Purrfect, our pet project that encourages the cat-nection of Dad-Cats (and father figures, moms, role models, mentors etc.) to their Kid-Cats through fun and games, products, and programming. Purr-Fect the Imperfect Moments.
Why Dad Purrfect?
In a society dominated by screen time, worldly influences, and busyness, comes the opportunity and reminder that we must constantly pour into our kids and next generation. This concept is ageless, meaning the Dad Purrfect 4 P's to Purr-fection can apply to generational relationships of all ages. Whether a parent to an adolescent, or to an adult, relationship nurturement and growth doesn't have an expiration date.
Meet our Chief Dad-Cat
Chief Dad-Cat, aka Jeremy Lukas, is your everyday working Dad, providing for the Lukas 5 (3 Kid-Cats, Mom-Cat, & Dad-Cat) while coaching youth soccer, leading boys leadership programs, and teaching at his local church. He is also passionate about a variety of hobbies and interests (Disney, Lego, Christmas Light Shows, fantasy sports, fitness) as time allows. In all of this, we must remember the importance of joy and laughter, and how that can help feed both our Dad-Cats and Kid-Cats in this dog-eat-dog world.
