Just days after suffering a devastating family loss, Kaia Gerber found herself facing another painful scare in the Hollywood Hills. Her beloved cat, Tony, had gone missing, and the timing could not have been worse. Flyers went up quickly, warning neighbors to watch for the cat, who had last been seen on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, wearing a tracker around his neck. A reward was also offered in hopes of bringing him home. By Kaia’s side were boyfriend Lewis Pullman, influencer Jake Shane, and director-photographer Carissa Gallo, all helping her search while she tried to hold herself together. What should have been a routine celebrity sighting became a deeply personal and emotional scene.
The group did more than simply walk the neighborhood. According to reports, they canvassed the area, posted “LOST CAT” notices, and supported Kaia in quieter ways too, with Carissa arriving carrying flowers and an envelope marked with Kaia’s name. Online, people immediately reacted with sympathy, saying the young actress and model had been hit with “loss on top of loss.” Others wrote that this would be anyone’s breaking point and hoped Tony would be found quickly. The reason those reactions ran so deep was painfully clear: Kaia was already mourning the death of her older brother, Presley Gerber — and now another piece of her world had suddenly disappeared.
Thankfully, the search for Tony ended with a bit of good news. The cat was found just nine hours after he was first reported missing, bringing at least some relief during an otherwise brutal week. Lewis, who has been linked to Kaia since January 2025, was among the first to help, showing the kind of steady support that matters more than any public statement. Friends like Carissa, who has worked with Kaia over the years, also proved how strong her circle really is. There was no attorney, insurance claim, mortgage dispute, investment fight, estate battle, or court hearing at the center of this story — just a young woman leaning on the people closest to her while trying to survive a crushing stretch of grief. In moments like that, even finding a missing pet can feel like a lifeline.
Kaia’s heartbreak over Presley’s death had already been described as overwhelming by people close to the family. He died at age 27 on September 20 at a Los Angeles rehabilitation facility, and those who knew the siblings said their bond went far beyond ordinary brother-and-sister closeness. As the only children of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, they grew up together in Malibu and later followed their mother into modeling, sharing both family history and public life. Presley even tattooed Kaia’s name on his arm in 2018, a lasting sign of how much she meant to him. For now, the return of Tony does not erase the family’s grief, but it does offer one small moment of comfort in a week that had already taken far too much.
