Cat Missing Two Months Reunites with Owner After California Wildfire

Katherine Kiefer, an 82-year-old woman from Los Angeles, joyfully reunited with her Maine coon cat, Aggie, two months after the Palisades wildfire destroyed her home. The reunion was captured in a TikTok video that has garnered over a million views, showing Kiefer's emotional relief as she held Aggie in her arms. Aggie was found malnourished and burned, having survived by scavenging in the rubble of the fire, which burned through 23,000 acres and destroyed nearly 6,000 structures. Thanks to Aggie's microchip, animal control was able to identify her and reunite her with Kiefer. The family has raised over $21,000 for Aggie's veterinary care, as she underwent several blood transfusions and is now on the mend. Kiefer's heartfelt message to other pet owners is to never underestimate the resilience of cats and to hold onto hope during difficult times.
