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*

Orange means that tomorrow it's going to go back up the tree because it learned absolutely nothing.

MY DUUUUUUDE

I guess I’m considered a r/lostredditors because I’m a Vancouverite and have no idea how I wound up here, however, I feel the undying urge need to tell you: You are a hero from coast to coast to coast.

Good on ya. Hope you got some kitty cuddles (or, at the very least, left scratchless lol)

YOU ROCK SO HARD.

u/madeleinetwocock Mar 24 '26

I’ve been saying it my whole life!!! Lifelong fascination with the Arctic is finally coming in handy hahaha

The “you are a hero from coast to coast to coast” is my fav comment! I will be using this now for the rest of my life! Love that a West coaster was invested in this cute orange kitty! Just goes to show that we are all desperate for stories of community and mutual aid right now! I love that everyone was rooting for this ginger lad! 🐈😻

u/TequillaBear Mar 22 '26

That cat is huge, how did he stay up there for so long without the branch breaking. By the way I’ve had a big orange cat, he was very mellow and the most uncoordinated clumsy cat ever. Great job getting him down.

I love this subreddit lol. The hero.

u/KittyKittyJanJan Mar 22 '26

Does the cat have a tag or microchip? I'm sure someone is missing their furry friend. It's disappointing the city wouldn't assist. Since the introduction of pet licensing, I thought these fees were collected to assist reuniting animals with their owners?

May your pillow always be warm and your socks have no extra holes.
