Doris Day has appeared in 39 films, has recorded over 650 songs, is an Academy Award nominee, as well as a Golden Globe and Grammy Award winner. But today, the world’s top ranking female box-office star of all time isn’t gracing the silver screen: she’s working full-time with animals and her non-profit organizations, the Doris Day Animal Foundation (established in 1998) and the Doris Day Animal League (which recently merged with The Humane Society of the United States).

Day penned an exclusive blog for CNN on April 9, where she spoke about her love for animals while reminding people that April is Prevention of Animal Cruelty month.

“My request is that you be a good citizen and keep an eye out for your neighbors’ dogs, cats, birds and other animals to make sure they are being treated humanely.” Day wrote. "You would not believe how much mail I receive and the terrible stories I hear about dogs chained and left for hours, crying all the time; or cats confined to the smallest spaces and left in the cold, or other tales of dogs, cats and birds that are too shocking to tell to humane and sensitive people.
