In just over two months, 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 for her starring role as Penny on the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory 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. 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 actor 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.»

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.»
