s2 group   10 #1 Posted November 4, 2011 We have a black and white cat stuck up a tree in Norfolk Heritage Park.  We think it has been there for at least 2 days. If anyone knows who the owner might be please let us know.  The tree is massive and our ladders don't reach anywhere near it.  Any advice on how to get it down - much appreciated - with bonfire night upon us etc.  Fire brigade don't deal with cats anymore.  thanks,  Claire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They're experts at swinging around trees and might do it for a fee? Is the cat mainly white with a Tourtoise Shell covering?

Sid Umpley   10 #3 Posted November 4, 2011 how many dead cats do you see up trees?  once its hungry enough it will find its own way down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
s2 group   10 #4 Posted November 4, 2011 I imagine if it starved to death it would fall out of the tree.  We could pay a tree surgeon but its not our cat and we can't find the owner.  I was just trying to reduce suffering as fireworks will be set off left right and centre this evening.  It is def. black and white - no other colour.  I've just put some hot tuna out but doubt it can smell it 30 ft up the tree.

felix24 Â Â 10 #5 Posted November 4, 2011 Can't the RSPCA help ? It prob will get down on its own but if it's been there two days it's going to be thirsty - not sure how long cats live without water, its not stuck by its collar is it? Keep us posted, hot food Is a good idea x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
LNRV Â Â 10 #6 Posted November 4, 2011 would you not be prepared to pay for a tree surgeon and then once the cat is down have it scanned to see if its chipped and claim of the owner? Poor thing is gona be petrified later and tomorrow :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
vwkittie   10 #7 Posted November 4, 2011 Try the RSPCA I think they will try and help if it's been up there for a couple of days and with it being bonfire night tomorrow it's extra dangerous for the cat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
