Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have an unexpected new member of their family: a kitten they nursed back from near-death after finding him near their home.
Stefani shared the news on social media, writing that she and Shelton found a male kitten near their property. The No Doubt singer said the cat was in bad shape, describing him as “hardly alive” and “so sick.”
But the celebrity couple took the kitten into their home for some much-needed TLC. Video shows them wrapping the tiny kitten in a blanket.
Over time, the cat’s health improves—he’s seen walking around after regaining his strength. Stefani wrote that he “became a healthy kitten.”
“You’re doing incredible. Gettin’ fat,” Shelton is heard telling the kitten.
Stefani wrote that they have now adopted the cat as part of the family, naming him “Corn Shelton.” “We’re so grateful that he’s a part of our family,” she wrote.
The story touched many fans’ hearts online, with many saying that it was meant to be. “Welcome to the good life, Corn. You sure picked the right family!” one comment reads.
“The cat distribution system is always on time,” another wrote.
After getting adopted by these two music megastars, Corn is already going Hollywood: he made a cameo appearance on the season premiere of The Voice, on which Stefani is a coach.
Stefani and Shelton have been married since 2021, and share a ranch in Oklahoma that is home to many animals, including another cat and two dogs named Betty and Ginger.
Last year, Stefani announced that one of her cats gave birth to six kittens:
Thank you to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton for rescuing and adopting this sweet kitten! Please share this story! ❤️
