Please post when cat is back home with you.
Thanks.

I posted to facebook and twitter for you as well. I hope that someone is able to help you out. Stay safe Kitty.

I've got ladders (on Bishop) if someone can pick them up - have a truck?

I already called the fire department and even went down there in person. They refused to help. Everyone keeps saying he will come down eventually but it's so cold and rainy and he keeps crying. I just can't stand it and I don't know what to do. Tried calling animal rescue, some local tree services, painters. No one will agree to do it.

How big are your ladders? I have one here that I tried. It goes up about 20 feet and I'm still so far from him. I've tried using a rope and thought hoisting a bucket might work but the rope keeps getting caught in the branches. I can't get it where it needs to go.

Oh dear -- only 17 foot high

If I were younger I'd climb up but
Let's search the internet! Back soon

Only having done this twice, my neighbor's cat was up a tree - got the ladder and went up and just hung out, in the tree, with the cat. Eventually the cat will come to you, but if you act all panicky and freaked out, the cat is just going to stay up in the tree. Also, if you try to grab the cat, he will grab the tree so tight you'd need a pry bar to get him off.
A basket or box that the cat will climb into helps. Good luck.
Don't expect the cat to show any gratitude LOL.

Fresh food rotisserie chicken can naturally entice him/her down.

Also, keeping your voice calm & happy could help. They know when we are stressed.

keeping calm seems to be the key. This is reassuring (from the internet)
So your cat is stuck in a tree. What can you do?

Don't panic, cats are excellent climbers and will rarely fall out of a tree. Most cats might come down on their own, if given some time to calm down. In my experience cats are very tough and hardy animals. If yours has to spend the night in a tree it should be fine. Some cats may come down during the night after things have calmed down and when it begins to feel confident again.

I'll keep searching

Rosemarie, thank you so much! I've already contacted a couple ppl on there. One person said he couldn't do it today because of the rain and how dangerous it'd be. Another one is in nyc but May have a buddy from Norwalk willing to help. Seems promising but he says it'll be around 400 bucks. I'm willing to spend any amount at this point so I really hope one of those ppl will come through. Thanks guys! Will keep you updated

Cassius has been rescued! Thanks to some wonderful neighbors tuna rope and a basket !!! :)))

YAY Cassius. Photo please!

We couldn't leave until he was safe, Jen! So glad he's safe and sound (and pretty wet but that will change soon, I'm sure).

That's such good news. I wouldn't have been able to sleep a wink with one of my cats stuck up a tree, all alone and scared stiff in this cold wet night.

Congratulations to all concerned!!
Rosemarie

Just read about the cat. So glad he is safe. Jen? make sure all doors are closed (if that is how he got out) We lost both our 20 yr old cats (expired) last year, so we know how you feel. Many thanks to Rosemarie Morgan for all she did. She is a great neighbor.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
