When asked about her pets by People Magazine in April 2023, Barrymore discussed having four cats and mention all her cats’ names except for Fern. Barrymore hasn’t commented on what happened to Fern, but we’ll assume Fern is no longer with her.

Flossie (Dog)
Drew Barrymore had a beloved Labrador-Chow mix named Flossie who she adopted in 1994. Flossie passed away at the age of 16 in 2010, with Barrymore spreading her ashes on the Ganges River in India. In the year 2000, when Barrymore was engaged to comedian Tom Green, Flossie saved them from a house fire. A fire broke out in her 3,500 house near Beverly Hills, which caused around $700,000 in damages. After the near-tragic event, Barrymore’s spokesperson told the L.A. Times, “Their dog, Flossie, awoke the two about 3:30 a.m. when she barked and “literally banged on their bedroom door. Flossie was really the main alert that there was a fire.”
