Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have a new addition to their family.
The No Doubt singer, 54, shared a video on her Instagram introducing her 17.7 million followers to Corn Shelton, who she shares with husband Blake, 48.
“This is Corn Shelton. The day he came to our home he was barely alive + so sick, but with lots of love + care he became a healthy kitten. We are so grateful to have him as part of our family,” she captioned the post.
Corn is an adorable gray and white kitten that The Voice judge found at her home on the brink of death.
The feline made a controversial appearance on the singing competition earlier this week, with fans concerned about the feline appearing on live television.
Gwen – who recently announced her first studio album in seven years – nursed Corn back to health and became so attached to him that she adopted the adorable green-eyed kitten.

Fans raved about the adorable pet and the story of his rescue in the comments section.
“That cat distribution system even knows Gwen!” one fan joked while another added, “You were chosen by the cat distribution system haha.”
“Here’s to Gwen in her Country Era,” someone else wrote, while another fan pointed out the obvious, “imagine being @gwenstefani and @blakeshelton’s cat? Are you kidding?’
Gwen brought the cat on stage during the season premiere of The Voice earlier this week and used it to attract contestants to her team.
The way she handled the kitten caused backlash among viewers and fans, with some of them accusing her of “torturing” the little cat, which is a completely different mindset than the commenters on her new cat video.
Singer Sydney Sterlace sang Olivia Rodrigo’s driver’s license and Stefani then handed her the cat in an attempt to convince Sydney to choose her as a mentor.
She said, “You know, Sydney… this little thing happened to me.
‘This little creature came to my porch and seemed barely alive and I thought, “I love you, you’re my new cat,” but I don’t have a name! Then I thought, maybe I can call it Sydney.’
She raised her voice as the kitten meowed and said, “This cat’s name is Sydney!”
When Sydney chose Stefani as her mentor, the Spiderwebs singer screamed “oh my god!” as she held the wriggling kitten – who appeared to be about six weeks old – in the air as she hugged her new mentee.

She then walked off stage holding the kitten in the air with both hands – with her behavior quickly labeled ‘disturbing’, ‘horrific’ and ‘unacceptable’.
One fan wrote: ‘Please never let Gwen near an animal again. The way she kept lifting that small, scared kitten high above her head was horrible.”
Another wrote: ‘I love you so much, but please never do that to such a young animal again. The sound, the way you held him as if he were a stuffed animal dangling from your fingers, it would all be traumatizing for such a very young kitten.”
Others wrote: ‘Please don’t bring baby animals and swing them around for entertainment. So sad to see that scared kitten
