Gwen Stefani’s heart is melting over her newest addition. The singer has adopted a new pet, and she’s absolutely smitten. But behind the adorable pet lies a story of survival, resilience, and a bond built on pure love.
Gwen Stefani’s family just got a little furrier! On Thursday, the “Don’t Speak” singer and “The Voice” coach welcomed an adorable new addition to the Stefani-Shelton household—a fluffy kitten named Corn Shelton.

Stefani revealed that the little kitten was “so sick” and “hardly alive” when he first showed up at their home. But with plenty of love and nurturing, she nursed the ailing stray back to health. “We’re so grateful that he’s a part of our family,” she wrote alongside the video, which has since been flooded with sweet fan comments.

The love didn’t stop there—fans showered Stefani and Shelton with praise for their compassionate gesture. “This is precious, omg you guys are the best people ever 🥺❤️,” one admirer wrote.
Another user, moved by the story, shared, “Awww, this makes me so happy that you saved him and gave him LOVE …I do my best to save kitties in LA.” There were even comments like, “God led him to the right house 😉❤️,” which speaks volumes about the magical connection between Corn and his new family.
Stefani, who has always been vocal about her passion for pets, previously shared with fans the joy of welcoming new kittens into her home. In April 2023, her cat gave birth to six sweet babies, and Stefani couldn’t contain her excitement.
She posted a video of the tiny furballs bonding with their mother, alongside a sweet caption. “Our cat had 6 sweet kittens this morning, and we were all there to watch—it was such an incredible experience!! They r sooo cute[sic],” she wrote, capturing the magical moment.
Back in December 2020, Stefani showcased her fondness for cats by sporting a cat-themed outfit during the holiday season, showing her longtime appreciation for her furry friends.
