Kaia Gerber's Cat Found Safe Amidst Family Grief
Model's boyfriend Lewis Pullman and friends rallied to help find her missing cat, Tony, days after her brother Presley Gerber's death.
Kaia Gerber's cat Tony has been found safe, just days after the model's brother, Presley Gerber, died at 27 from a suspected drug overdose. Presley, the only son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, passed away on Sunday at a Los Angeles rehabilitation facility. His death is currently being investigated as a suspected overdose.
Amidst the family's grief, Gerber's actor boyfriend Lewis Pullman, 33, was seen by her side, joining friends in a search for her missing cat, Tony. On Wednesday, they were observed putting up "lost cat" signs throughout the Los Angeles neighborhood where Gerber resides. The signs noted that Tony has a tracker on its neck and is shy.
Pullman was also seen embracing director and photographer Carissa Gallo, a frequent collaborator with Gerber. Gallo was seen carrying flowers and an envelope addressed to Gerber. Influencer Jake Shane, 26, also participated in the search for the feline.
The efforts proved successful, with Tony being located approximately nine hours after being reported missing.
Pullman and Gerber have reportedly been romantically linked since January 2025. Their relationship began after they were first seen together at Pullman's birthday celebration in Los Angeles.
New details have emerged regarding the circumstances of Presley Gerber's death. Sources close to the investigation, cited by TMZ, stated that Gerber was found in a bedroom at the rehabilitation house on Sunday, September 20. He had reportedly checked into the facility the night before he was discovered deceased after going into cardiac arrest. The exact location within the room where his body was found has not been specified.
According to TMZ, investigators are not currently focusing on fentanyl as a potential factor in Gerber's death. However, the official cause of death awaits the release of the Medical Examiner's toxicology report.
Audio from the 911 dispatch call made from the Santa Monica rehab facility, obtained by the Daily Mail, indicated "cardiac arrest" followed by "overdose." The calls reportedly escalated rapidly, with an initial report of cardiac arrest at 9:35 a.m. being upgraded to an "overdose" within three minutes, and further upgraded at 9:40 a.m.
Sources close to Presley also informed TMZ that a physician had been prescribing him ketamine, despite awareness of his past struggles with the drug. Ketamine can be used in addiction treatment, though it is not FDA-approved for that purpose. Friends of Presley are reportedly angered by this prescription, given his history with addiction.
The Santa Monica Police Department confirmed that emergency services were called to the rehab facility on Sunday morning. A spokesperson stated that officers "located an adult male who was deceased" and that detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose, with no initial indication of foul play. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not yet determined the official cause of death, though an autopsy was completed.
Presley had been staying in a separate house on the rehab facility's grounds and had roommates. He had reportedly checked into the facility on Saturday night, shortly before his death. The model had been open about his decade-long struggles with drug addiction and mental health.
Earlier in the year, he had posted about undergoing a "Pre-ibogaine flood dose" at a treatment clinic in Mexico. Ibogaine, derived from an African shrub, is reported to aid in withdrawal symptoms and induce a profound "reset." His parents and sister Kaia had publicly praised his courage in sharing his experience.
Ibogaine is a Schedule I controlled substance in the U.S. but is legal or permitted by prescription in other countries. Presley had praised the Beond Ibogaine clinic in Cancun for its "incredible, caring, kind and on-their-s*** team."
In the months prior to his death, Presley had taken a step back from social media to focus on his mental health, sharing candid videos about his struggles with "night terrors" and "panic attacks." He had discussed his fluctuating medication use and the difficulty of navigating medical advice. He also spoke of experiencing significant loss, which he cited as a reason for his current state.
Presley began his modeling career at age 15, appearing in campaigns for brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein. He was also featured in a 2018 Pepsi ad with his mother. He had a previous arrest for driving under the influence in 2019. Kaia Gerber had recently spoken about the profound impact of her brother's struggles on their family, describing it as having "leveled everyone."
