Aggie, a Maine coon cat, was thought lost after the Palisades wildfire devastated her owner's home. For two months, 82-year-old Katherine Kiefer held out hope for Aggie's return. Eventually, the West Los Angeles animal shelter contacted her with the good news. A touching TikTok reunion was shared, capturing the emotional moment between Katherine and Aggie. Despite suffering from starvation and needing medical assistance, Aggie's survival sparked a $30,000 GoFundMe campaign that saw significant donations from the community, underscoring the strong connection between pets and their owners.
The family will officially be reunited with Aggie when she is released from the hospital on Thursday. Kiefer said she was anxiously waiting, and she has a message for other pet owners: Don't underestimate cats, she said.
Many pet owners struggled to reach their domesticated animals during the frantic rush to evacuate from the Palisades wildfire in January. Aggie, who is about five years old, was gifted to Katherine Kiefer by a friend during the Covid-19 pandemic.
