She used her Instagram account, which has over 26 million followers, to find the owner of a lost cat who did not have a collar or a microchip, telling fans: “Hey everyone, I am here at Pasadena Humane Society, and today I am here with this cat. He has been here for four days so far and does not have a collar or microchip, so they don’t know who his owner is.”
