AceShowbiz - Newlywed Kaley Cuoco gave up her Thanksgiving Day celebrations to help rescue a baby seal stranded on a beach at sunset.
The animal-loving "The Big Bang Theory" star was celebrating the holiday with her husband Karl Cook at his family's beach house in California when she "came across a baby seal who was obviously lost and in pain" while strolling on the shore.
Kaley, who has a menagerie of pets at home, called the hotline for the Santa Barbara-based Channel Island Marine & Wildlife Institute, and volunteers gave up their holiday festivities to help.
"They promised me a volunteer but I was unsure it would happen since it's Thanksgiving! A few hours later I noticed a group of volunteers huddled around the seal. They all showed up to help!!" the actress wrote on Instagram. "my heart is full and I'm thankful these gracious people left their thanksgiving plans to help an animal in need. Doesn't get better than that."
Her Instagram post included a video showing the seal, the volunteers and members of Cuoco's extended family thanking those who came out to help the animal. It's still not clear what became of the stranded sea mammal, but there was no sign of it on the beach on Friday morning, November 23.
This is Cuoco's first Thanksgiving as Mrs. Cook - the actress exchanged vows with fellow equestrian Karl at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego, California on 30 June.
