Cat in a tree rescue

When your feline friend finds itself up a tree call on us to help you out.  Many times firefighters and police are unable or unwilling to help.  Many times we have been called upon to deal with these circumstances with either our bucket truck or a skilled climber.

Here is a link to a national website for cat rescue.  It gives some great advise and tells you what you can expect. cat in tree rescue

Why do some cats get stuck and refuse to come down all the while crying for help?

Here are some possible reasons: Cats can go into a state of shock, and much like a human can be overcome with the fear of falling and simply not be able to think clearly. A cat can be so filled with fright that it doesn't realize it's capable of climbing down on its own.Also the curved claws of a cat work well for climbing up a tree trunk, but to climb down, the cat has to climb backwards down the trunk. This is not so easy for some cats to do naturally.

Below are a few rescues we were able to get pictures of.
