Friday, August 13 proved to be a very lucky day indeed for the animals of Farm Sanctuary. Colbie Caillat, singer of feel-good hits "Bubbly" and "Fallin' For You," stopped by the organization's upstate New York location to spend a little time with the rescued animals.

The singer not only tweeted a picture from her visit (as did her guitarist, Justin Young), but also taled about how wonderful the animals were and how much she enjoyed her visit that night at her concert in Canandaigua, N.Y., where Caillat and her band played with Sheryl Crow.

Here at Paw Nation we are big fans of Farm Sanctuary and we love when celebrities take time to share the spotlight with worthy causes like this. Kudos to Caillat for making the trip, and extra props for giving Farm Sanctuary a shout-out at the concert.

Tell us Paw Nation, what's your favorite farm animal?

Has fame already changed Susan Boyle? The singer once made headlines for being a bit of a crazy cat lady. These days she's so busy traveling the globe that she's moved her beloved cat, Pebbles, out of her house, TVNZ reports.

Susan Boyle rocketed to fame after stunning the world with her voice on the U.K. television show "Britain's Got Talent." But last summer, Boyle had a breakdown over her cat Pebbles, the Daily Mail reported at the time. After throwing a tantrum in a Liverpool hotel, in which the confused singer screamed repeatedly that she needed her cat, 48-year-old Boyle missed a concert and was ordered by doctors to get some rest.

Just look at Boyle now. These days the jet-setting vocalist is touring the world, and has moved Pebbles out of her home in West Lothian, Scotland, and into the home of a retired accountant in London, TVNZ reports.

According to that report, Boyle's mentor, Simon Cowell, helped find the cat temporary new digs, since Boyle was so rarely home. Her new caregiver, 76-year-old Pamela Eaton-Browne, gets $9 per day to care for the cat, according to TVNZ. The 11-year-old Pebbles has been living with Eaton-Browne since July, and is lavished daily with treats like premium wet food, chicken and fish.

With Boyle and her cat in the news yet again, fans are jumping to defend her. "There is no need to blow this out of proportion -- Pebbles is temporarily living with retired accountant Pamela Eaton-Browne whilst Susan is travelling all the time," notes the Susan Boyle fan site.

What do you think? Is this a case of a cat abandoned for fame and fortune, or is Susan Boyle once again the victim of media scrutiny overload?
