"Went to the animal shelter today to give some love to the babies living in cages and don't have homes and ended up adopting the little girl!" Reed captioned. "What should we name her?"

Hollywood Life is also reporting on the latest addition to the family.

Ian similarly expressed his love for the little cat, tweeting Reed's picture out and writing, "The newest addition to the family! Holy s**t this little GIRL is amazing! PLEASE Adopt Adopt Adopt."

Nikki and Ian have documented their animal love on their social media pages as just a few months ago the two adopted a horse named Eagle together, and just last month the stars celebrated Somerhalder's dog Nietzsche's first year of being with the actor.

The star Instagrammed an adorable picture of himself and Reed posing alongside Nietzsche. He wrote, "Congrats to our little [Neitzsche] here- thank you for your amazing contribution to all of our lives. However, welcome to the wonderful world of being spayed- The world does not need any more puppies, we kill million and millions per year."
