Overview

• Woodley is a pet parent to two rescue siblings, Bear and Pharrah, which she calls a “game-changer” because they comfort each other when she is at work.
• In a new interview, she recalls adopting her first shelter cat at 16 and says the responsibility felt like her entrance into adulthood.
• She describes pet parenting as profoundly meaningful, saying it “transcends an idea of love” and reflects the trust her cats place in her.
• She includes her cats in holidays and life events with stockings and small gifts, and she buys new beds or toys when moving into a new home.
• Frequent work travel makes it difficult to bring both cats, sometimes requiring another person to accompany her, and she skips dedicated pet social accounts despite sharing photos.
