My mom, my dad, my two brothers - we're all animal lovers. I think we love animals more than most people.Collection: Mom
I was able to attend a doggie wedding where the bride wore a custom made gown of taffeta and satin - the quality of the dress was nicer than a lot of the human weddings I've been to.Collection: Wedding
At home, he's a 100-percent softie; that's who he is. I just blew his cover. When Howard has a really stressful day at work or he feels overwhelmed, it's funny, I point to the foster room. After 30 seconds of being there with these baby kittens or these special needs cats, it just changes your whole mood.
I've always been an animal lover and have no human children, so my heart has been with helping animals.
Kittens are so messy and sometimes require several feedings a day.
The ultimate goal of fostering is to get kittens and cats adopted.
Through my Instagram, I'm always posting pictures of kitten fosters and if it inspires one person to go to his or her local shelter and adopt, it's worth it.
When I spend time at North Shore Animal League America, I always feel so sad for the cats, especially the kittens. Once they're at North Shore, they're safe and I know they're going to find homes, but it's that time in between that they're in cages and waiting to find homes that breaks my heart and I feel like their spirits are gone.
I don't have children, so I can focus on my mission to save helpless animals.
Howard is the greatest.
I feel like cats need help.
My husband may be the King of All Media, but I'm the queen of the house.
I've found my purpose in life, definitely.
I was always a dog person.
I am a Pittsburgh girl at heart.
I am Pittsburgh proud, I root for the Steelers and I still have my Terrible Towel!
By running the N.Y.C. Marathon in 2008, I became a runner and I think that's what works the best for me and keeps my body the way I like it to be.
I'll do some light weights once or twice a week, but I probably run 3 miles five days a week.
I am on a sugar-free diet. I used to be a sugar addict where I would eat gummy bears and candy when I lived in Europe.
I'll pretty much eat anything that doesn't have sugar in it. And I'll eat carbs, believe me - I eat tons of pasta! In the morning I eat these low-carb, sugar-free breakfast bars, and for lunch I usually do a chopped salad, and I like natural sugars like fruit.
Our family always rescued animals from local shelters or from the street or from someone who didn't want their animal. We always had a dog in our house. We usually had two cats. We had guinea pigs and little chicks and chickens.
I remember the senior class play I was in. I was also in the musical, although I can't sing at all, but I wanted to be a part of it. Then I was modeling in Pittsburgh, so being in front of the camera was something I enjoyed and benefited from. I made money growing up by modeling locally.
When I moved to New York I started to do a lot of TV commercials. It just kind of naturally evolved from still photography to commercials.
I was in a movie called 'Flirting With Disaster' with Ben Stiller. I realized that I am really not a good actor and not something I wanted to pursue.
I love my Howard. He's a great guy.
I'm a cat person, I'm a dog person, I work in wildlife rescue.
It's very clean in our house.
The first book was called 'Oh My Dog,' and it's kind of a whole huge resource book on when you go adopt a dog to the dog's final days.
My parents' firstborn was a rescued collie mix.
It's fascinating to see how far people go to spoil their pets... It's beautiful and heartwarming. Some of it is really silly, but I think it's fantastic.
Every time I pass a litter box I clean it.
I love the cat-lady jokes.
When you adopt an animal at a shelter you are saving two lives.
I love spreading the word and encouraging people to adopt from their local shelters. There are so many wonderful animals waiting for loving homes.
Cats thrive when they can walk around and sleep in a patch of sunlight.
Howard and I have found that our Bulldog Bianca, and adopted cats Walter, Apple and Leon Bear, enrich our lives so much.
Pets have made us better.
My husband and I live for our pets, or I can say that I do.
Everything about 'Kitten Bowl' has been so tremendous.
I'm going to be 100 years old, hopefully still hosting the 'Kitten Bowl.'
I work and I volunteer at North Shore Animal League, so I'm at a shelter environment every single week. And I see these senior pets sitting there looking, craning their necks looking outside of their cages waiting for their person to come back. So I always say check out the adult animals that are there first.
My fantasy would be to adopt a bulldog from bulldog rescue and a big old mutt from North Shore Animal Shelter.
Kittens are the best therapy.
When cats scratch the furniture, it's only because they're trying to sharpen their claws, which means they get so long that they want to grind them down. So if you trim their claws routinely, it helps tremendously.
I never wanted to get married. I never thought that was in my cards. I always thought I was just going to be an independent woman my entire life. Hopefully having a partner but never getting married.
