Paris Hilton is lending a helping hand to furry friends after the Los Angeles wildfires.
“Hey everyone, I am here at Pasadena Humane Society, and today I am here with this cat,” Hilton, 43, said via Instagram on Monday, January 13, while standing behind the cat’s cage. “He has been here for four days so far and does not have a collar or microchip so they don’t know who his owner is.”
Hilton explained she was showing the feline for fans to identify the cat’s face “so he can go back to his home.”
“And I’m also going to be fostering another dog who was surrendered by his family who lost their home in the fire,” Hilton said. “And we’re gonna go and see if there’s any other dogs where they are still looking for their owners.”

Hilton noted that she wanted her fans to know that Pasadena Humane Society “is such an incredible charity” and encouraged users to donate.
“I just wanted to come here today and to share my platform and raise awareness and really highlight incredible foundations that are just doing this work because these are our babies,” she said, while looking at the cat. “And we’re going to find your owner.”
The video ended with a close-up shot of the cat, who Hilton said was from the Altadena fires. Hilton noted that the cat’s ID number is A519218.
“I spent yesterday volunteering at the @PasadenaHumane Society, spending time with animals found after the wildfires 
,” Hilton wrote in the caption. “This beautiful cat was found without a collar in #Altadena and has been in the shelter for the last four days 
. Please share with anyone you know from the Altadena area so we can reconnect this baby with his owner! His animal ID is A519218.”

She continued, “My nonprofit @1111Media Impact has contributed to support the shelter’s efforts, and we’re still raising funds to help displaced families and pets 
Every donation makes a difference in providing emergency relief, housing, and supplies. If you’re able to donate or volunteer, the Pasadena Humane Society is an incredible charity to support!

Hilton went on to share a carousel of snaps from her time volunteering with Baby2Baby and Pasadena Humane Society. In one image, Hilton hugged her new pooch, whose name is Zuzu, close to her chest.
“I’m so grateful that I’m able to bring home Zuzu, our new foster 
whose family unfortunately had to surrender her after their home was destroyed in the wildfires,” Hilton wrote in the comments section of her Instagram post. “Fostering is such an important way to help when you’re able to—if you can, please consider giving a temporary or permanent home to animals in need 
.”
Prior to her visit to the organizations, Hilton shared on January 8 that she was among the many people in the Los Angeles area who lost their homes in the wildfires. The next day, Hilton shared a video of her returning to what remains of her home in Malibu.

“I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.
,” Hilton wrote via Instagram on January 9. “When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.

Hilton called the home a place where she and husband Carter Reum have “created the most beautiful memories as a family.” (The pair, who wed in 2021, share son Phoenix, 23 months, and daughter London, 12 months.)
“My loved ones, my babies, and my pets are safe. ,” she wrote. “That’s the most important thing, and I’m holding onto that gratitude with everything I have.”
