Recently, animal protection organization Dear Lay shared a heartfelt post on its official SNS account, calling him a “beautiful person.” The organization revealed that on a freezing weekend in January, Yoo Seung Ho personally visited the shelter to spend time with rescued cats.
Photos released alongside the post show the actor warmly interacting with abandoned cats and diligently cleaning the facility. From scrubbing litter boxes to preparing meals and dusting every corner, Yoo Seung Ho reportedly volunteered hands-on throughout the visit.
The shelter further disclosed an even more touching detail.
“Last year, he gifted food supplies. As we constantly struggle with hospital expenses, he also helped settle part of our outstanding veterinary bills.”
Although Yoo Seung Ho reportedly asked them not to publicize his actions, the organization expressed gratitude, writing,
“He told us not to share this, but we want to speak about this beautiful young man’s good deed. Thank you, Yoo Seung Ho. Wishing you a happy New Year in 2026.”
A Longtime Advocate for Adoption
Yoo Seung Ho is well known for his love of animals. In 2019, he adopted two rescued cats and has since openly identified himself as a devoted “cat butler.”
In 2022, while participating in a pictorial encouraging cat adoption, he shared his firm stance:
“If you’re going to abandon a cat midway, it’s better not to raise one in the first place. If you can’t take responsibility until the end, choosing not to adopt is wiser. If you still want to, I recommend volunteering first. You’ll definitely learn something there.”
Over the years, Yoo Seung Ho has consistently volunteered at shelters and, in 2025, donated 2.5 tons of cat food, further solidifying his commitment to animal welfare.
Another Chapter in His Reputation
At 33, Yoo Seung Ho continues to build a reputation not only as a talented actor but also as a celebrity who practices quiet philanthropy.
In an industry often filled with headlines about scandals, this story stands out as a reminder that sometimes the most powerful news is about kindness.
