Safe at last — no more pain for California’s cats. We have wonderful news for cats everywhere! California has become the largest state in the U.S. to ban cat declawing — a cruel and painful surgery that amputates the first bone of each toe, leaving cats in lifelong pain. For decades, many cats lost not just their claws, but their natural way to defend, climb, and play.  The surgery left many in constant pain, struggling to walk or even use their litter box.  Some were late

Kittens like this are being filmed and tortured for profit — help stop it A CNN investigation has uncovered videos of cats being burned, mutilated, drowned, and electrocuted for money.  The victims are usually kittens — small, trusting, and helpless.  Some are forced into blenders, while others are set on fire or beaten until they stop moving.  Their suffering is recorded, sold, and watched for entertainment. Behind every cruel video is a suffering animal. The BBC found more

Foxes are finally free from a life of fear. Vogue, the world’s most influential fashion magazine , has announced it will no longer promote or feature fur. Vogue is the voice that shapes what the world wears and values.  When the magazine changes direction, the entire fashion industry takes notice.  From runways in Paris to shops in Tokyo, its influence reaches everywhere. For decades, animals such as foxes, raccoons, and coyotes have suffered for their fur.   Every life deser

Pilot Pup Chanel moments after we found her — trembling and scared. When we found Chanel, she was sitting low to the ground, her thin body trembling.  Her eyes were wide and unsure — the look of a dog who had learned to expect pain instead of kindness. She did not bark or growl. She just froze. The world had not been kind to her, and she did not yet know that this moment would change everything. We spoke softly and moved slowly, letting her see that no one was going to hurt h

Some shelter animals spend thousands of days waiting for someone to choose them. This week is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, a time to honor the dogs and cats who depend on shelters for their chance at life — and the people who care for them.  Behind every kennel door is a story waiting to be heard, like Leo’s.  After being surrendered by his owner, he spent over 2,000 days in a Tennessee shelter, watching others leave for new homes while his turn never came. His

Safe, warm, and loved — what every cat deserves. Today is National Cat Day — a day to honor not just the cats who capture hearts online, but also the quiet survivors who fight for life against impossible odds. Like a tiny kitten named Miso, who was rescued just before she was nearly hit by a car. She was hurt and needed surgery, but her rescuer refused to give up. With care and love, Miso began to heal, and soon her playful spirit started to return. Today, she is growing st

An octopus exploring the ocean, where every moment is freedom. In Spain’s Canary Islands, a company is planning to open the world’s first industrial octopus farm — where thousands of these intelligent, sensitive beings would be raised and killed for profit. Octopuses can solve puzzles, recognize people, and even experience boredom and frustration.  In the ocean, an octopus spends her days exploring reefs and hiding in coral. But inside this farm, they would be trapped in cold

After years of waiting, warmth finally feels like home. November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month , a time to honor the dogs and cats who have already given years of love, yet are now the ones most likely to be forgotten. Take Fiona’s story, a 13-year-old dog who spent 11 long years in an Alabama shelter before finally being adopted by a loving family in Wisconsin.  After a lifetime of concrete floors and metal bars, she now has her own bed, warm meals, and people who greet her ev

Team 600 found in an abandoned lot surrounded by trash. We found Bianca standing alone near a pool of filthy, stagnant water at an abandoned site.  She was thin, her head hung low, and every sound made her flinch. She barked when we first approached.  Her fear was evident.  But we waited quietly, letting her see she did not have to run anymore. Hunger finally pulled her closer.  Bianca was still unsure if we would harm her. She approached us step by step, watching carefully t
