I knew I liked Jenna Fischer from the insanely funny show, "The Office." Now I like her even more, because she rescues cats. (BTW, if you haven't seen the episode where Dwight "takes care" of Angela's cats, you're really missing out.)

"Jenna Fischer's character on The Office isn't a crazy cat lady – that role goes to costar Angela Kinsey – but in real life Fischer has a soft spot for her furry friends.

As a volunteer for the non-profit Kitten Rescue in L.A., the actress has fostered nine cats, including Honey Bear, a 25-lb. feline, who had "hiding issues."

She also dotes on her frail black-and-white cat Andy, who she rescued from a friend's apartment complex when she was a college student 16 years ago.

"In the show Angela has all these elaborate procedures for her cat," says Fischer, who will host Fur Ball at the Skirball, a fundraiser for Kitten Rescue, on Sunday at L.A's Skirball Cultural Center. "I've done all that – the eye drops and ear swabs. I've massaged their tummies."

She even manned a kitty crisis line for a year. "That was like being a social worker for cats. You feel totally responsible when someone calls about an abandoned kitten," she says."
