Why Brittany Cartwright's New Family Member Just Had Her "Freaking Out"

Brittany Cartwright is sharing the latest on the newest member of her family: her cat, Lola Pearl.

The Valley cast member took to her Instagram Stories on November 19 to reveal why Lola recently had her "freaking out."

"I was freaking out because I couldn't find Lola and I was scared she got outside or something," Brittany wrote alongside a photo of Lola curled up with a decorative spider. "But nope, she was sleeping with the Halloween decor. Why can't cats just meow or something when you are panicking lolll."

Brittany also shared adorable snapshots of Lola cozying up to her and her son, Cruz Michael Cauchi. 

"Lola Update: She's a little angel and we are obsessed," Brittany wrote in the caption of one photo, along with an angel face emoji.

Meet Brittany Cartwright's newly adopted cat, Lola

Brittany adopted Lola just a few days before she got "freaked out" by her hiding. The Vanderpump Rules alum, who announced her separation from Jax Taylor in February 2024, shared the exciting news on her Instagram Stories on November 18. 

"Cruzy and I adopted a kitten today," Brittany shared, confirming she got the cat from a rescue in Los Angeles. "Welcome to the family Lola."

The Kentucky native's dogs are adjusting to Lola's presence in her Valley Village home. "You guysssss I'm in love," Brittany wrote in an Instagram Story about her new kitten. "Cruz is sooo happy!!!! Working on the dogs to feel the same way lol..."

Brittany Cartwright's life lately

As she continues to navigate her split from Jax, Brittany is keeping busy by announcing some exciting career news, and by spending some quality time with her son. 

Earlier in November, Brittany announced that she was planning to be a part owner in a bar that will be named Britt's.

"You all know we started the bar-restaurant business, and we started off with Jax's. A lot has changed since we started that," she teased on November 8 episode of her and Jax's podcast, When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany. "I did a lot to help that place. I put Mamaw's Beer Cheese on the menu, I did all the flowers, I helped decorate, I showed up when Jax couldn't be there, I tried my hardest to keep everything going. I love the partners that we have there and they recently came to me and... Britt's is coming to WeHo!" 

The West Hollywood spot is located near SUR and Lisa Vanderpump's other eatery/bar, Tom Tom. 

A few weeks before making her exciting announcement, in late October, Brittany took Cruz to her family's 400-acre farm in Lexington, Kentucky. 

"Just what I needed," Brittany wrote alongside a photo of her family's property.
