One of Ellen’s cats was just about bald until she started the kitty on Spots Stew, a transformation that led Ellen to become a partner in Halo, the talk show host says in an interview for TV Guide.

“(She) didn’t have any hair at all on each side when we got her,” Ellen says. “When we started feeding her Spot’s Stew, she just changed, she got a full coat and soft fur.”

Ellen’s huge heart for animals began as a child. Her first rescue was a mockingbird she found at camp. “It was a baby bird that had fallen out of a nest,” says Ellen, who brought the bird back home, nursed it to health, and brought it back to the tree at camp before setting it free. She is now the mom of two dogs and three cats, all rescues.

Ellen DeGeneres, an owner of Halo, lays out a buffet of different foods for her cats at every meal so they don’t get bored, the animal lover tells TV Guide.

Also, her pets play favorite: their poodle Mable loves Portia, their other dog, Wolf, loves them both, and one of the cats loves Ellen best. Or at least she likes to think that, Ellen says.

Eleven-year-old Brandon Williams didn’t give it a second thought.

With a neighbor’s house on fire one night in late January, Brandon bee-lined it to their backyard, where four puppies and their mother lived. “It shocked me, he was gone so fast,” says Brandon’s mother Kandy. “We were worried about people inside and he was worried about the dogs. He said, ‘What about the puppies?’ and he was gone.” In seconds, Brandon emerged with four puppies in his arms, and then retrieved their mother, Bell, a Rottweiler. “I am so very proud of him,” says Kandy. “I have always been proud of him, but this grabbed my heart.”

The home’s owner, Junior Lynch, was also touched. He gave Brandon, of Sylacauga, Alabama, one of the puppies, a rottweiler-lab mix named Bruno. And when Halo co-owner Ellen DeGeneres got wind of Brandon’s feat, she flew him and his mother to Los Angeles to appear on her January 30 show. Ellen told Brandon,“I have a pet food company called Halo, and it’s great food, it’s good for animals and I’m going to give you a year’s supply for your puppy.” Then she presented Brandon with a $10,000 scholarship for college, and a five-day trip to Disney World, where he and his family will be honored. “She was fun,” says Brandon of Ellen. “She jokes during the show.”

Brandon’s lifelong love of animals propelled him to action that day. He’s wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as he can remember, and Ellen arranged for him to follow a veterinarian; already, says Brandon, he’s watched vets do surgeries. “When I was little I had stuffed animals, rabbits and bears and when we went outside I liked to look at the squirrels,” he says. “I had fish, birds, rabbits, iguanas and a snake.” Now, his only pet is Bruno.

The trip to Los Angeles was Brandon’s first time on a plane. “It wasn’t scary,” says the sixth grader. “It was like a ride at the carnival.”

Saving the puppy and receiving Ellen’s recognition, says Kandy, “has been a turnaround for him. He’s more of a pet person than a people person, now he’s more positive about everything, about school. More motivated.”
