Her daughter Carolyn Kiefer shared their reunion Saturday in a TikTok video that quickly garnered more than 1 million likes. It shows tears pouring from Katherine Kiefer's eyes as Aggie curled up in her arms.

Katherine Kiefer, 82, lost her Maine coon cat Aggie during the Palisades fire, which destroyed her home. However, she did not give up hope that the feline was still alive, and, two months later, she was reunited with her pet.

But when the Palisades Fire ravaged her Los Angeles neighborhood, her beloved cat disappeared into the smoke-filled chaos. “It felt like a war zone and it would be impossible for Aggie to survive,” Carolyn said.

During the Palisades Fire in January 2025, Katherine Kiefer lost her Maine Coon cat Aggie, but then was runited with her two months later.
