Angelina Jolie & Shiloh got a new pet at their local Petco: kitten or bunny?

Angelina Jolie buys a new pet at Petco with Shiloh

In this coming week’s Gossip With Celebitchy podcast, I admitted something dreadful: if I could “borrow” any celebrity’s style, I realistically would borrow Angelina Jolie’s style vibes. This is not an endorsement of her entire closet or every single thing she’s ever worn. It’s just that Angelina wears a lot of black and she likes a good trouser or regular pair of pants. She likes a simple blouse and a well-cut coat. She keeps it really simple, and I appreciate that. My vibe is pretty simple too, but Angelina’s vibe is better. It’s goth-lite, with sack dresses and a vague ‘70s feel. These photos made me think of our podcast conversation!

Angelina stepped out this weekend with Shiloh. They went to Petco and of course they wound up buying a pet. The pet container looks too small for a puppy and too big for something like a hamster or gerbil. My guess is that they got a rabbit or a kitten. And before everybody climbs up Angie’s butt about “buying an animal” rather than adopting one from a shelter… my local Petco has an arrangement with the shelters, so they bring in a supply of shelter kitties and puppies and you can buy them there, in-store. And you’re paying for their shots and spay/neuter. My guess is that Angelina’s local Petco has a similar arrangement, at least with cats and dogs. But, as I said, this box is rabbit-sized too. Shiloh seems like the kind of kid who wants a rabbit, right? I imagine her practicing magic tricks and a rabbit would definitely be part of her act.

As I said, I like Angelina’s whole style vibe here – the black blouse is really cute, and I like that she’s sprinkled with some very delicate-looking jewelry – simple rings, a thin bracelet, small earrings and a long pendant necklace of some variety. The boots are my favorite part!

PS… It just occurred to me that this could be a snake or a lizard or something? But do they put snakes and lizards in these kinds of boxes?

    Guinea Pig or chinchilla maybe? The box looks like the one our hamster came in but bigger.

    • EMc says:

      Looks like the pics on the outside of the box are of that nature as well. Guinea pig, hamster, etc.

    • Anners says:

      Maybe a rat? Shiloh seems like the kind of kid who would dig a pet rat. They’re pretty smart. Also other people think they’re dirty, gross, or scary. Could be right up her alley

      • DSW says:

        Rats are awesome! Hopefully it’s two (or more) rats in the box. They thrive best in pairs or groups, because they’re so social.

  2. Bettyrose says:

    No question that it’s an adoption. CA ban on sale of pets just went into effect Jan. 1st.

    • Laura says:

      Woo! Thanks California 🙂

    • Laur says:

      That’s awesome, I wish the UK would hurry up and follow suit! However if it is a Guinea pig/rabbit/chinchilla it needs company!

    • Justwastingtime says:

      I live in California and love the ban.

      Our local petsmart donates tons of goods to our local shelter and runs adoptions from a (great) local rescue org every other weekend .

      The rescue org’s focus is on getting pregnant, sick and senior dogs out of our local shelter and fostering them till they are ready for adoption. I won’t shop online for our pets supplies, I will only shop at that petsmart because of their support for shelter animals.

      • Jerusha says:

        We have a local pet store that’s been family run for 30+ years, before all the big chains came to town. They’ve been in the forefront of adoptions and donations and community giveback from the beginning. Just recently, they provided free pet food to furloughed workers. I shop with them and am happy they do great business.

    • CA Family Code says:

      Pet stores have been banned in some cities in CA for many years and now it’s statewide. Thank god! I’ve gotten my pets at West Los Angeles Shelter for the past 20 years. Last adopted two little girl kittens (8 years young) and previously adopted adult cats that have since passed. I can’t tell you what a great shelter it is. If you want kittens, they have a kitten fair every June and you get a pair of kittens for $60 including vaccinations, spay/neutering, they are chipped and you get a free vet visit (they have a veterinarian office on the compound). They have every other animal you can imagine to be adopted there as well. There are other shelters all over greater LA that do the same. Also the SPCA in Long Beach is AMAZING. They take in unwanted Pitt bulls…and a no kill fabulous shelter and cat home in Seal Beach where I often volunteer—every dog in the shelter is walked at least once every day and the kitties are pampered by volunteers. I give to the shelters each year (sponsoring animals) and I always pick up a bag of cat and dog food at Costco once a month and drop at Seal Beach when I volunteer. I appreciate this story because we musn’t forget our community shelters! P.S. AJ is looking as good as I have ever seen her look. She looks healthy and serene–leaving a toxic relationship is great for your health.

  3. minx says:

    She looks great, love the boots.

  4. Adorable says:

    She simply looks fabulous.She looks happy and healthy(lil extra weight gained).Ever Since she dumped that man baby,she’s been looking healthy,happy & rested & as a fan it’s great to see.

    • Maya says:

      Yep, she has been looking amazing since last June after Samantha came onboard.

      Plus I think she is dating someone fabulous in private. That can explain the extra glow 😜

      • Adorable says:

        Keanu right😜

      • Maya says:

        Haha yes that’s a personal gossip wish

      • Booie says:

        That would be nice, but a woman can glow for herself and living her best life without a man or partner involved. Women don’t necessarily need a man (or woman for that matter) to make them happy. We can be happy for ourselves. Single life can be fun. 😉

      • Amy says:

        Booie, I’m here for what you said!

      • Dulce says:

        To be honest; I hope its NOT Keanu!! I like him, but NOT with Angelina!! Yeah, I know that I’m going to sound ridiculous, because we are not talking about my life; but about of a celebrity, BUT I wish Angelina gets with a wealthy non-famous guy, like a businessman!! Yeah, I want someone serious for her!! NOT another celebrity!! 🙄

  5. Maya says:

    She looks amazing and happy.

    She also just announced a partnership with BBC & Microsoft to combat fake news. It’s a series of news segments she is producing with them for children from 7-14 years old. It will be shown in multiple countries and languages.

    Netflix also announced she have requested Angelina’s help in getting Roma the best Feature Film. They are reportedly spending £20m on the Oscar campaign and Angelina will be using her Hollywood connections/power.

    PS: Shiloh’s hair is turning brown now.

  6. Louise says:

    I am always surprised just how petite Angelina is.

    • Carmen says:

      She carries herself so well that she always looks taller than she actually is. She’s around 5’6″ but no taller than that. When she stood on the red carpet nect to Brad wearing 4-inch stilettos he still topped her by a couple of inches, and he’s no more than six feet even.

      • Booie says:

        But if she wore 4 ft heels and she’s 5’6 that would push her towards 6 ft…

      • Alexis Marie says:

        Just an FYI about heels and height. The foot pivots. So a 5’6″ woman in 4 inch heels won’t become 5’10”. She’d probably gain about 2 inches of height. When a high heeled pump is worn, look at the arch of the shoe and how much it lifts the leg off the ground. Don’t go by how much your heel is off the ground because its pivoted up. It all about how much of a boost the base of the leg is getting off the ground.

    • Dulce says:

      Angelina is 5’7 or 1.70 cm!!

  7. Bettyrose says:

    I actually think I own (a down market version of) every piece she’s wearing here. I usually alternate with slightly more color, blue jeans or a purple top, but I’m not AJ.

    • BengalCat😻 says:

      I think I do too, lol. I dress very similarly to AJ but wear lots more jewelry. Unfortunately, I don’t look like her.

    • Maya says:

      Same I dress similarly but wear the rainbow with tops.

    • Spicecake38 says:

      I dress very similar to AJ too, I favor black cashmere and smart wool brand tops,they all go with dark jeans,trousers,even yoga pants,just change accessories,bag,boots,flats,sneakers.At first I thought that was giving up,but I found my standard uniform and it’s so liberating to know you can look pulled together in minutes if you must.I’ve always adored AJ’s street style/non style.Instead of sack dresses I choose flowy jumpsuits for warm weather.

  8. Helen says:

    is shiloh really only twelve? v tall for a 12yr old, astonishing how fast time flies

    • Bettyrose says:

      Aren’t tall girls usually tall by 12? I was never tall, but my bff then was 5’8″ by her 13th bday.

      • K-Peace says:

        BettyRose, Yes, they very often do. I reached my full height (5’8″) at 12. My mom reached 5’8″ at age 11.

      • minx says:

        Yes, I’m 5’ 11” and had pretty much reached that height by 12-13. Same with my daughter. Shiloh is tallish but I’ve definitely seen taller girls her age.

      • curachel20 says:

        They say girls pretty much stop growing taller when they hit puberty, whereas boys will grow much later. So it makes sense that she’s this tall. I mean, I stopped at 5’1”, so I have no experience with height!

    • Elisa says:

      Shiloh is almost as tall as AJ, so she will most likely be taller soon.
      I find both their outfits awesome.

    • Jenn says:

      *Supposedly* you’ve reached your maximum height by the time your period begins. I suddenly sprouted to 5’3″ and was briefly one of the tallest in my grade. THAT didn’t last. (I’m still 5’3″!)

      • Jenn says:

        Oops, I didn’t nest this comment in the right thread, I don’t think. Sorry about that! 😐

  9. Hallie says:

    In the third pic, Shiloh looked a little bit like Justin Beiber…hehe!

  10. Brunswickstoval says:

    In Australia lizards and snakes are usually transported in fabric bags so they are more comfortable and can’t see light. I doubt that’s what she’s bought.

  11. Charfromdarock says:

    I dress similarly to AJ too, just in less expensive and much larger sizes. I wish I looked 1/10th as good!!

  12. Sparkly says:

    My oldest keeps gerbils, and that looks pretty similar to the boxes PetSmart sends them home in. My only question is — where are the supplies? That would tip us off. Surely they need food, bedding, a container/house, toys, etc. I guess maybe they already have a setup at home, but I still buy more food and treats any time we go buy a new one.

  13. Lucy2 says:

    My guess is hamster or something like that, I think that box is too small for a kitten or a bunny.
    She does look a lot healthier since the split.

  14. Jag says:

    I’m thinking they got a rat. I can’t stand the animals, but have two friends who have them as pets. Apparently, they’re quite intelligent and can act like little dogs.

    Angelina does look great here.

    • Kebbie says:

      We found a little white rat in our backyard one time. Just walking around in the middle of the day. It had obviously been someone’s pet and our neighbors had moved to Canada two days prior and had young sons so we think they just let the thing free like it could survive on its own 😒

      It was sweet, we gave it cat food (we had a cat so we couldn’t keep it) and found it a place at a rescue that adopted them out. The lady there said they were surprisingly popular. I can see why though, I still think about how cute and sweet it was.

    • CairinaCat says:

      Rats are awesome pets. They are just like little dogs.
      They have a bunch of guinea pigs at PetSmart usually, could be that or a rat.
      Although if you get a rat you want to get them from a private breeder where you can trace the genetic line. They are much less likely to get cancer and typically live 1-2 years longer.
      And since rats usually only live 3-5 years at most that is a huge difference in lifespan.

    • RedWeatherTiger says:

      Rats are wonderful pets! They’re like dogs, smart and clean and affectionate and ready to learn. I was squicked out by their tails when my daughter first wanted them (they are social and do best in pairs or groups, not alone), but they won me over very quickly. The only downside is their very short lifespan (3 is old).

      We got ours from a local rat rescue: rats are rescued from labs (when the experiments are over, they are either rescued or killed), hoarders (more than you think), former snake owners, Craigslist, and pet stores…I always recommend rescue.

      • CairinaCat says:

        My son’s rat is his emotional support animal.
        I researched and found a breeder who had the type I wanted.
        In California, until very recently you could only get a rat from a breeder or rescue.
        I chose breeder because I needed to know it’s genetic history so our would have a better lifespan.
        We just lost our baby , Mrs. Sniffers, but she lived over 5 years.
        If you want them to bond with a person you get a single rat, they don’t bond with a human as close if they have friends.
        But this is only if you will be able to give them LOTS of attention, which my son did.

  15. Jo says:

    I know it’s L.A. so there are paparazzi around, but they don’t usually hang out at PetCo, right?

    • roses says:

      Seems they trailed her there. There’s a X17 online video of it. Would hate to be a celebrity in this day & time.

    • KidV says:

      I was going to say it’s an obvious pap walk, but it does make sense that they were followed.

      • Michelle says:

        They permanently wait outside her gated street & know the car registration. She’s followed constantly by them because they know photos of her & the kids sell. There are tons of photos of the kids being followed, even when Angelina isn’t with them.

    • CA Family Code says:

      Yes—followed—since she lives in the Old Demille Estate in Los Feliz (a very well known address), with Pitt down the road a mile you can bet they constantly stake out Demille and Briarcliff.

  16. lower-case deb says:

    didn’t one of the kids own reptiles like snakes and such? i wonder if they bought mice or things to feed the snake?

  17. truth hurts says:

    The store attendant brought out a lot of accessories before they come out accompanied by the bodyguard and it looked like a bird cage. Shiloh already had a lizard I think. Angie talked about it in an written interview when she did press for FTKMF. I remember she said she had to take it to the hospital because it was sick.
    She looks amazing and is gorgeous. I mean her face alone is epic and unforgettable.

  18. BeanieBean says:

    I sometimes leave the house without a button buttoned on my blouse, too (the bottom one). Celebrities, they’re just like us!

  19. DP says:

    This looks like a lizard box to me! 🦎

  20. Sidewithkids says:

    Wonder if Shiloh still plays basketball. Lol. She’s always looked like Justin Bieber to me.

  21. Deedee says:

    Shiloh has brads eyes and Angie’s lips.

  22. Upstate Diva says:

    Tortoise!

  23. Carol says:

    They bought a conure. A parrot. On the x17 video, the store attendant was seen carrying a box labeled conure habitat.

  24. Anare says:

    I saw a video of the two of them walking to their vehicle and Shiloh did not look too happy about the paps. She looked anxious. I feel sorry for these kids always having their lives pasted all over the Internet. That would suck.
