Target: Tom Vilsack, Nominee for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Goal: Investigate kitten breeders who reportedly run an unlicensed operation that exploits sick and dying animals.
The allure of watching adorable kittens in their element has inspired commercials, TV shows, and even popular pre-Super Bowl programming. However, a dark story may be unfolding behind the scenes of one such attraction. The Adorable Stars kitten cam – a live-streaming feed of kittens that boasts over 70,000 subscribers – is run by Florida-based animal breeders accused of abuse.
Many of the kittens from this supposed “luxury” breeder allegedly have serious health issues due to neglect. In particular, the kittens are reportedly disease and parasite-ridden. Multiple poor animals apparently died in the immediate days following the journey to their forever homes. The Animal Legal Defense Fund, an organization dedicated to protecting animals through the court system, is handling three lawsuits against Adorable Stars. They are urging the administrators of the U.S. Animal Welfare Act, the Department of Agriculture, to open a full and thorough investigation into this potentially unlicensed and abusive breeder.
Sign the petition below to echo this urgent call to action.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Vilsack,
“The Animal Legal Defense Fund is urging the USDA to investigate the facility and take urgently needed action to protect cats, kittens, and potential buyers from further harm.” This message from the nation’s foremost animal law advocate involves the organization Adorable Stars, a breeder of kittens and other young animals. This organization faces allegations from multiple pet buyers that it has neglected the health and well-being of the animals under its care, leading to death in some cases.
As the steward of responsible pet shop licensing and the upholder of the most significant U.S. law regarding animal welfare, you are in the best position to address and remedy this concern. If the organization under scrutiny, which may be unlicensed, is profiting from neglect and cruelty, it must be stopped immediately. Please answer the calls of advocates for a comprehensive investigation into Adorable Stars and its alleged misconduct.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Despicable people like these unscrupulous breeders ought to be shot! Breeders are lowest form of scum on earth. They care nothing about innocent animals, only the money they can make.
agreed!!
Jaime Perez. I absolutely agree with your comment.
“Despicable people like these unscrupulous breeders ought to be shot! Breeders are lowest form of scum on earth. They care nothing about innocent animals, only the money they can make”.
Jaime I would be there to shoot them making sure they suffer in agony before they die.
SHUT THIS OPERATION DOWN NOW.
Shut them down and lock them up. We don’t need any “luxury breeds”. There are enough of them killed each and every year because these breeders just don’t understand the stupidity of their actions. Until all of the animals on death row and in shelters have a home, nobody should be allowed to breed any animal…PERIOD!
Tom Vilsack, Nominee for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
