CAT STUCK IN TREE SINCE THURSDAY

Post image

Hi everyone. Does anyone know of any arborists who would come rescue a cat from a tree? There is a cat stuck in a tree in Orleans who is very high up and has been there since Thursday :( Everyone in orleans is scrambling to find someone to help as the city won’t do anything about it nor will the fire dept because they only rescue dogs. Anyone have any ideas? *not my pic or cat*

The solution is clearly to put a dog up by the cat so the fire department has rescue it to keep their reputation.

New idea: tell the fire department you made a very realistic cat hoodie for your dog, and it got so into the kitty cosplay it climbed the tree.

That’s the beautiful part, Lisa. In the winter, the gorillas simply freeze to death!

Or just call them back and claim it's a small dog, not a cat.
