Originally posted 05/24/2013 11:00AM
Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to extraordinary adoptable pets every week. Meet Little Callie, an elderly feline who is best described as a clotheshorse – yep, you read that right.
This very sweet lap cat with mild food allergies "has her own wardrobe," says adoption manager Kristi Littrell of the Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah. "The clothes keep her from scratching herself."

How the Cannes Film Festival Is Going to the Cats
Originally posted 05/22/2013 01:00PM
Hollywood's finest and most familiar faces – from Jessica Chastain to Jessica Biel – have flocked to the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival. (Did we mention Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio and Emma Watson, too?)
But the true stars of the festival have yet to show up.
Meet the ginger-colored cats who steal scenes from Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake in the Coen brothers' latest film, Inside Llewyn Davis. (Fun fact: It took six felines to fill the role of the cat who follows Isaac around 1961 New York in the film.)

Now, there's a lesson in purr-severance.
Brigitta, a cat who lost use of her hind legs after being shot with an air rifle, has a new lease on life thanks to the help of a wheelchair specially crafted for her. The once-injured kitty was brought to Celle, Germany, from her home in Bulgaria to be fitted with the piece.
And Brigitta's accessory is proving to be as fashionable as it is practical: Just check out that pretty prink paint job! Plus, the rear wheels give her the freedom to explore her grassy green habitat just as well as any other adventurous feline.

Is it time for my ap-paws?
While most celebrities walk the red carpet, Internet sensation Lil Bub took a decidedly simpler approach: taking a seat.
The famous feline was on hand for Thursday's Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary Lil Bub & Friendz, which chronicles the popularity of its titular star and fellow Internet obsessions like Grumpy Cat and Keyboard Cat.

Adopt Me! Won't You Let Humphrey Sit in Your Lap?

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to an extraordinary adoptable pet every week. Meet Humphrey, a 4-year-old domestic short-haired tuxedo cat hoping to warm up to you.
Since coming to the Fort Worth Animal Care & Control of Texas from another shelter, he's been "waiting for his forever home for a while," Sherri Eason, manager of the PetSmart Charities's everyday adoption center in Fort Worth, tells PEOPLE. "He is a very sweet, loving cat who just needs some time to get to know you."
Although the feline is shy at first, that will change. He really "starts to warm up once he's in someone's lap," adds Eason. "He really just needs time to acclimate to a nice, quiet home and have the chance to be someone's forever friend."

Ian Somerhalder Falls in Love with Grumpy Cat at SXSW
Originally posted 03/11/2013 01:40PM
Ian Somerhalder's latest relationship might not have a happy ending.
"Me and my new love," The Vampire Diaries star, 34, Tweeted alongside a photo of the one and only, and presumably lonely, Grumpy Cat.
As to be expected, however, meeting the hunky animal-loving actor over the weekend during a Mashable interview at Austin's South by Southwest festival was not enough to swipe the disdain off Grumpy Cat's face.

Ashley Bell's Blog: There's No Feeling Like Rescuing An Animal
Originally posted 03/01/2013 02:00PM
Best known for her role in 2010's The Last Exorcism, actress Ashley Bell, who returns in the movie's sequel The Last Exorcism: Part II, out March 1, is a passionate animal lover who spends her free time fostering animals in need. Right now, her L.A. home is a temporary haven for close to a dozen rescues – and, thankfully, her permanent pal, cat Harrison, doesn't seem to mind the extra roommates.
In her first PEOPLE.com blog, she reflects on how the lovable kitty came into her life, and the work she's done with the Delta Rescue of Acton, Calif.
You can find her on Twitter @OfficialAshBell.
Don't worry. Despite the fact that you saw me smash a cat with a camera in my last film, The Last Exorcism, in real life, I'm an animal lover. Thanks to movie magic, that little guy is alive and well and signing autographs in New Orleans. And this week, my devil-possessed alter ego returns in The Last Exorcism: Part II.
Growing up in Santa Monica, I had eleven brothers and sisters, all spayed and neutered, possessed (he-he) with horrible breath and all of them rescues.
