British born siren and a Tamil actresss Amy Jackson seems to be a pet lover and one who cares for the other living beings apart from humans. She has rescued animals including dogs and cats and as an extension of that service she has now teamed up with an organization called with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India for a brand-new ad campaign that encourages people to share their homes with a homeless cat or dog. In the ad, she appears as an angel holding her rescued cat Alfie next to the words "Be an Angel for Animals: Adopt. Don't Buy!" The ad was cranked ace photographer Nikki Lyons.

Alfie was a six weeks old kitten when Amy noticed him abandoned on the side of a busy road in a box which included four more kittens. Three of them were dead and while Amy adopted Alfie and her sister adopted Frankie which was the only other kitten alive.

“Every time someone buys a cat or a dog from a breeder or a pet shop, a cat on the streets or in an animal shelter loses his or her chance at finding a good home", Jackson says. "We can stop the cycle of animal homelessness and save lives by opening our hearts and homes to a loving cat or dog from an animal shelter instead of buying animals from breeders or pet shops." is the message, the lead lady pairing up with Vikram in Shankar’s upcoming mega budget film Ai wants to drive home.

The lass who debuted with Madarasapattinam in Tamil film industry and EK Dheewana Tha in Bollywood has been a long-time animal rights supporter and often speaks out on social-networking forums about issues such as animal adoptions.
