Before getting her new kitten, Katie rescued a black Labrador puppy from a neighbour in November last yea[5]r, making her have a total of seven dogs, eight pets in total.
She has four Chihuahuas – named Captain, Buddy, Colin, and Batman – as well as a French Bulldog named Precious, a German Shepherd Tank and a Labrador puppy.
Her beloved dog Blade died in June last year just seven months after Katie’s other dog, Sharon, was killed on the same road.
Sharon was killed when she allegedly escaped and ran on to the road where she was hit by a car. She was picked up off the A24 by the driver and taken to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West Sussex, where her death was confirmed.
In 2020, Katie’s pet dog Rolo suffocated in her home, while her Alsatian Sparkle was mowed down in February of the same year, in shocking echoes of the death of her dog Queenie, who was killed in 2018.
In July 2020, Katie was criticised by animal rights activists after Rolo’s suffocation. The French bulldog died after getting stuck in an electric armchair while the reality star was packing some bags in another room, reported The Mirror.
Rolo was given to her daughter Princess as a birthday present.
Katie later revealed her shock after she was illegally advised to give her late puppy Rolo cannabis oil before he ‘suffocated to death in an armchair’.

PETA Vice President of Programmes Elisa Allen told MailOnline after the death of her dog Blade: ‘After a seventh animal died in her custody, Katie Price should be facing more than the court of public opinion – she should face a court of law and be banned for life from keeping animals.
‘PETA urges authorities to look into Blade’s death and reminds the public that it’s not just Price who has blood on her hands.
‘Greedy breeders who keep selling or ‘gifting’ animals to her are also to blame, as they know full well what the likely outcome will be.’
Katie announced Blade’s death on Instagram, writing: ‘Words can’t express the lost of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly passed away today.
‘I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade.’
