Kata Mara cradles some furry friends in her lap as she helps out The Humane Society of the United States’ Animal Rescue Team following a large-scale cruelty case last week at a Gallia County property in Ohio.

The 33-year-old actress flew out from Los Angeles to assist in the critical care of nearly 70 dogs and three horses rescued from inhumane (both unsafe and unsanitary) conditions.

“It’s incredible to actually be here and just give love to these animals that clearly need so much of it,” Kate said in an interview with WSAZ-TV.

“To see the pictures of what they were living in and knowing all the medical issues that they have now is really disturbing, but I’m happy to be here to start the healing process with them,” she added.
