Who Says Only Dogs and Cats Can Enjoy Pup Cups at Starbucks? This Chicken Gets Its Own Cluck Cup, Too!
Puppuccinos are popular choices at Starbucks for dogs and cats. They just can't resist the creaminess of whipped cream sans coffee, served with a smile.
But hey, this kind of indulgence is not just for these canine and feline families. The Gentle Barn cares for a rescue chicken named Rebecca who's very fond of car rides as well as berries. And so, why not treat her to her own cluck cup at Starbucks?
So, off she goes with her human mom for a unique coffeehouse experience. They head to a Starbucks drive-through where Rebecca orders a Cluck Cup of delicious strawberries. It's her first time to try a Cluck Cup, and much to her mom's happiness, Rebecca is filled with delight over her Starbucks treat.
According to The Gentle Barn in a caption on this Tiktok post about Rebecca, "At our farm animal sanctuaries, we create unique enrichment experiences for our rescued animals tailored to their individual interests. Rebecca loves people, berries, and car rides, so we took her on a special field trip!"
And yes, Rebecca is just one of the two hundred animals that The Gentle Barn has taken into the loving care of its three sanctuaries located in California, Missouri, and Tennessee. Their mission is to rescue animals from neglect, abuse, and slaughter. And when they have completely healed, these animals in turn help people who have suffered similar experiences to recover too.
Here are some heartwarming comments from Tiktok users about Rebecca:
From Yvonne Nocetti: "All animals deserve love n good nutrition! Adorable!"

For more than 20 years now, I’ve been devoting my heart, energy, and time to fulfilling my dream, which – many people may agree – is not among the easiest aspirations in life. Part of my happiness is having been able to lend a hand to many individuals, companies, and even governments as an investigative journalist, creative writer, TV director, and radio broadcaster.
At home, I spend my free time learning how to cook various cuisines. Tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and banoffee pie are my favorite desserts. Playing with our dogs, Mushu and Jerusalem, is also a special part of my day. And, of course, I read a lot – almost anything under the sun. But what really makes me feel alive is meeting people from various walks of life and writing about their stories, which echo with the tears and triumph of an unyielding spirit, humanity, and wisdom.
