A California Maine coon named Aggie was feared dead for two months after the Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles that left her family’s home in ashes. Her owner, 82-year-old Katherine Kiefer, was at a medical appointment the day fire engulfed her neighborhood, and her children couldn’t find Aggie — who was prone to hiding — when they tried to rescue her.
The family feard Aggie was dead.
Over the weekend, Kiefer got a call from the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter — Aggie had been found. Kiefer’s daughter Carolyn shared their reunion Saturday in a TikTok video that quickly went viiral. It shows Katherine Kiefer crying as Aggie curled up in her arms.
Aggie was skin and bone and was being treated this week. The family’s $30,000 GoFundMe campaign for Aggie’s vet bills had topped $21,000 by Tuesday afternoon. She will get to go home for good today.
