Months after what would have been her 100th birthday, Betty White’s final message to fans has finally been shared by her team — and it’s everything her fans would expect: warm, gracious, and full of love for animals.

Originally intended to be posted on her 100th birthday, the heartfelt video was delayed due to her sudden passing just weeks before the milestone.

Now, Betty White’s team has released it as a thank-you message to fans who have donated to animal welfare causes in her honor.

In the message, the beloved actress and comedian expresses deep gratitude for the continued support of her fans throughout her career — but especially for their role in keeping her lifelong passion alive: advocating for animal rights and welfare.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting animals the way you have — and the way you’ve supported me all these years,” White says with a gentle smile.

Betty White was known not only for her legendary roles in shows like The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but also for being a devoted animal rights activist.

Her work with the Los Angeles Zoo, the Morris Animal Foundation, and countless shelters made her a powerful advocate for animals everywhere.

Following her passing, fans launched the #BettyWhiteChallenge, encouraging people to donate $5 or more to local animal shelters and rescues on what would have been her 100th birthday, January 17.

The movement went viral, generating millions of dollars for animal welfare organizations across the country.

White’s team noted in a statement: “Betty would have been so touched by this outpouring of love — not just for her, but for the animals she cared so deeply about.”

Though the video came later than planned, its release now serves as a powerful reminder of Betty White’s enduring spirit and the legacy of kindness she leaves behind.

Animal shelters and rescue groups continue to see a positive impact from the wave of awareness created by the challenge.

Many are encouraging fans to keep the tradition alive by donating every year on January 17, or volunteering in Betty’s name.

Betty White’s final message to her fans is a perfect reflection of the star we all knew and loved: genuine, grateful, and full of heart.

While we lost a national treasure, her memory lives on — not just on screen, but in the wagging tails and purring cats helped by those inspired to give.
