Katy Perry turned 27 this week – and to celebrate, she made a special request to her fans to help one of her favorite charities.
The hitmaker – and wife of Russell Brand – asked her followers to donate to the ASPCA.
“Thank you for helping me celebrate my birthday by making a donation to the ASPCA,” she wrote on a special donation page set up by the charity. "Please know that your donation is not only special to me, but to the countless animals you will help save.
“For over 140 years the ASPCA has worked tirelessly to end animal cruelty. From education and care to adoption and rescue, the ASPCA is making a life changing difference for animals across America. Your gift will mean so much to the animals right in your community.
“Thank you to everyone for your donations! These funds will make a lot more kittens (& other animals) happy in this world!”
