Katie Price introduces new cats amid animal welfare concerns

In the UK, reality star Katie Price has introduced three new Sphinx cats to her social media followers despite receiving backlash concerning her track record with animal welfare. The announcement came on October 27, when she shared images of the kittens huddled in a blanket, affectionately referring to them as her 'three wrinklies'. While individual cats are valued at approximately £800 each, this spending raised eyebrows given her recent bankruptcy declaration. Katie has faced ongoing criticism from animal rights activists due to a string of pet deaths during her ownership. Her previous pets, which included dogs, horses, and lizards, have reportedly died under her care, leading to accusations of negligence from organizations like PETA. This winter, she had to put down her most recent cat, Frog, after it was diagnosed with an incurable condition just five months into their relationship. Activists have not only condemned her pet ownership but have also taken steps to challenge her right to keep animals. PETA has initiated campaigns aimed at banning her from owning pets altogether. They even offered her a financial incentive to refrain from acquiring more pets, a proposal she did not accept. The controversy surrounding Price’s pet ownership has highlighted serious concerns about animal welfare and responsibility among public figures. With multiple incidents of pet deaths linked to her ownership, many continue to voice their worry and advocate for better treatment of animals.
