22 Animals You Absolutely Need to Follow on Instagram
Your feed has never been cuter. Promise.
In the digital world we live in today, anyone and everyone can become Instagram-famous — including your pets! In fact, some of the social media app's most-followed accounts actually belong to animals, and as so-called "pet influencers," they're total pros at bringing in all the likes (while being absolutely adorable, to boot). So, if you want to add an extra dose of cuteness to your feed, just follow these 20 animals on Instagram. We promise you won't regret it.
Jiffpom
With his more than 9 million followers, Jiffpom the Pomeranian is undoubtedly one of the most famous animals on the 'gram. But he's a star outside of social media, as well — in 2014, he made an appearance in Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" music video.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin was just 1 month old when she fell from a tree and broke her leg. Her raccoon mama never returned for her — but today, she's doing better than ever and enjoying every minute with her human mom, Laura, and rescue dog siblings, Oreo and Toffee.
Norbert
Norbert is a 10-year-old therapy dog who lives in Los Angeles. He's perhaps best known for his ability to put smiles on the faces of everyone he meets — and everyone who follows along with his adventures on social media.

Jill
Back in 2012, Jill fell from her nest during Hurricane Isaac, and her human mom brought her inside to give her temporary shelter from the storm. Needless to say, "temporary" shelter became a permanent home ... and Jill became a social media superstar.
Hamilton
Before Hamilton was Instagram-famous, he was actually part of a feral cat colony. Now that he's settled into his new, loving home, however, he's known for his picture-perfect "mustache."
Juniper
She might act like any other pet dog, but Juniper is actually a domestic fox. Follow her on Instagram to keep up with her adventures with her fox friend Fig and their many other furry family members, which include a dog, a cat, and two sugar gliders.
Nala
Siamese-tabby mix Nala is adorable in every way, but it's her stunning bright blue eyes that make you stop and double-tap as you're scrolling through your Instagram feed.
Lionel
Lionel might be spiky, but he's also sweet: His human mom, Anna, has been known to carry him around Charleston, South Carolina, in her purse (and yes, as a bonafide Instagram celeb, he often gets "recognized").
Tuna
Tuna's mom, Courtney, fell in love with the Chihuahua-dachshund mix in 2010, when he was just 4 months old — and when she made him an Instagram account in 2012, the rest of the world fell in love with him, too.

Loki
Loki, a husky/malamute/Arctic wolf mix, was adopted by his human, Kelly, back in 2012, when he was still just a pup. And the two of them have been inseparable ever since: Kelly makes it a point to take Loki with him absolutely everywhere he goes.

Puddin
After negligent owners left her with an infection that caused her to lose both her eyes, Puddin found a loving home with her new human, Cory — and a zest for life that makes following along with her on Instagram an absolute joy.
Ethel
They don't call her Ethel "the glamour tort" for nothing: This sulcata tortoise knows how to rock a shell cozy and pose for a photo shoot like nobody's business.
Venus
Venus the "Two Face Cat" has been internet-famous for years now, thanks to her incredibly unique coloring. (Read: If you're not following her yet, you're seriously missing out.)
Loulou
Talk about a very good girl! Loulou is known for perfectly posing for photos with her many animal friends, which include ducks, chicks, rabbits, and more.
Melvin
Not only does Melvin have a gorgeous gray coat (and an adorable white nose!), but he also has an equally stunning bunny friend named Bianca.
