In the current issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine, Katherine shares why protecting our four-legged friends is a cause so dear to her family.

The feature, in the March 2011 edition of the publication (Abbie Cornish cover), focuses on the work of the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation and their Compassion Revolution program to directly address the pet population crisis.

She also chats to the magazine about the favorite item in her closet in honor of the Spring Fashion Issue.
