5. Jenna loves cats, too! She supports the Stray Cat Alliance, a non-profit organization that promotes the importance of spaying and neutering cats.

wanted to take this baby home yesterday after visiting the @straycatalliance booth! there's so many kittens/cats out there that need homes and medical care, but Stray Cat Alliance is trying to change that. So far they have helped over 16,000 cats! If you're interested in a cat or you want to see what they've done for these cats, go give them a follow and check them out❤️????#straycatalliance ????
