Katy Perry Benefits ASPCA

Singer Katy Perry has requested that fans donate to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on behalf of her 27^th birthday this week. On Perry’s page for the ASPCA, people can donate $50, $100, $250, $500, or a write-in amount to the animal-welfare organization, in order to “make a lot more kittens (and other animals) happy in this world,” Perry writes. The singer, best known for her hits “Teenage Dream” and “Fireworks,” had an all-vegetarian concert rider for her 2011 tour, and her husband, actor Russell Brand, announced his conversion to veganism earlier this week.
