There will also be a live auction at the star's birthday celebration in her hometown of Carmel, Calif. Up for bidding are items signed by Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett, a Stella McCartney Falabella bag, as well as a handbag and scarf from Day's personal wardrobe.

"Turning 90 is a milestone, for me and for the Foundation, and we're setting a goal of $90,000 in donations," Day said. "There is so much work still to do to rescue animals, and to inform people about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets," Day said. The online auction is open until April 1. - Bids can be made at the Doris Day Animal Foundation Online Auction.
