North Shore Animal League America (NSALA) celebrated its annual red carpet gala on Friday night at New York's Pierre Hotel, and celebrities were out to "get their rescue on" and raise money for a new cage-free cat living space, spearheaded by actress, model and animal rights activist Beth Ostrosky Stern. Host Lisa Lampanelli kept the evening's energy high (but was ultimately upstaged by her adorable dog, Parker), Amy Schumer and Wilson Phillips performed, and there were appearances by Rachael Ray, "Empire's" Raquel Castro and many more.
You can see pictures of the foster cats and kittens on Ostrosky Stern's Instagram account.
