Shailene Woodley Champions Pet Adoption, Shares Life With Rescue Sibling Cats

Her outreach ties to a Mars-Calm initiative for Global Adoption Weekend.

Overview

  • Woodley spoke in new PEOPLE interviews about life with her two rescue cats, Bear and Pharrah, calling sibling pets a game-changer for their well-being and her peace of mind.
  • She recalled rescuing her first shelter cat at 16, saying the responsibility felt like an entrance into adulthood and eased teenage anxiety.
  • The actress said she includes her pets in seasonal traditions, with Christmas stockings and small comforts when settling into new homes during film shoots.
  • She opts against creating a separate pet Instagram, noting she rarely uses social media and instead shares occasional photos on her personal account.
  • Travel remains the hardest part of pet parenting for her, as frequent work trips can keep her apart from the cats or require extra help to bring them along.
