PENNY FROM BIG BANG THEORY: Kaley Cuoco Adopts Lost Animals & Speaks Out!
“Animals have taught me how to forgive and how to truly live in the moment. They don’t hold grudges. And they love you no matter what.” – Kaley Cuoco
As an old Boomer, I still haven’t figured out why The Big Bang Theory has been one of my fave TV shows for all these years. Different generation, eh? They don’t like our music, for instance. To us, they don’t even seem to have any music.
And yet — Years ago I happened to catch the episode where Leonard applies to share an apartment with Sheldon. I was about to surf away when Sheldon asks him “Captain Kirk or Picard?”
And Leonard replies, “The Original Series over The Next Generation. But Picard over Kirk.”
The old Trekkie in me perked up. Right! And was hooked!
Sheldon, Penny, Leonard, Howard and Raj became family. And then Bernadette and Amy…
And since just about everything I write is about animals and the love we share, this news also caught my attention…
“Celebrity Actor and Animal Welfare Advocate Kaley Cuoco Lends her Voice to the Global Campaign to Rehome Unwanted Pets.”
Animal-lovers are invited to join Cuoco and other philanthropic celebrities on Thursday, September 26th, 2024.
In just over two weeks, animal-lovers worldwide will unite for the 12th Annual Remember Me Thursday (RMT).
Observed each year on the fourth Thursday in September, the campaign has garnered an esteemed group of celebrities. Who join with animal welfare organizations and other animal-proponents to become an “unstoppable, integrated on-line voice advocating for orphan pets.”
This year, celebrated actor and animal welfare advocate Kaley Cuoco is lending her voice as the campaign’s newest luminary.
Remember Me Thursday® is honored to welcome Cuoco to this year’s campaign. Animal-lovers across the world are invited to join Cuoco and other philanthropic celebrities to be a part of this very special day, Thursday, September 26th, 2024.
Kaley Cuoco is a renowned television and movie actor best known as Penny from The Big Bang Theory. She starred as Penny between 2007 and 2019.
And, most recently, as the title character in the HBOMax comedic thriller The Flight Attendant. Which earned her nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.
Kaley’s other well-known roles include Billie Jenkins in the fantasy series Charmed (2005–2006). Voicing the title role in the animated series Harley Quinn since 2019. And playing the lead role in the comedy thriller series Based on a True Story (2023), among many others.
The beloved Kaley received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2014.
Off-screen, the Emmy-nominated actress has developed a well-known reputation for being an animal advocate who often adopts rescue animals.
This includes owning a ranch and rescue farm that has welcomed horses, donkeys, chickens, goats, cows and pigs, all of whom she considers family.
Regarding her passion for animals, Cuoco stated, “Animals have taught me how to forgive and how to truly live in the moment. They don’t hold grudges. And they love you no matter what. We should be surrounding our children with animals from a very young age, showing them responsibility and how animals deserve to be loved and treated.”
Kaley Cuoco joins the Remember Me Thursday® campaign during an incredibly crucial year. Perhaps due to rising inflation or an unstable political climate, adoption rates have plummeted across the country and euthanasia rates are on the rise.
“Remember Me Thursday focuses attention on the plight of shelter animals across the country during a critical time of increasing euthanasia rates and overcrowded shelters,” said Cuoco. “It has never been more important that we encourage the public to save a life by adopting a rescue pet from their local shelter.”
RMT was established in 2013 by Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms. Moved by the staggering statistic of over one million homeless pets who lose their lives each year in the U.S., Arms put out a call to rescue organizations in an attempt to create a global awareness campaign.
As creator of the International Pet Adoptathon and the International Home 4 the Holidays® program, he was able to send out an expansive request and the response was significant. Mike has placed over 20 million pets in homes since 1999.
Now in its twelfth year, RMT has been supported by 190 countries.
With hundreds of thousands of individuals and more than 1,000 separate animal welfare organizations around the globe holding candle-lighting ceremonies of their own. Thus spreading the message on social media, or lighting a virtual candle. The enormous swell of celebrity support has resulted in the topic trending each year on both Facebook and Twitter. Garnering more than 2 billion social media impressions since its start.
