Tree trimmer climbs 50 feet to rescue stranded cat
- 3 years ago
A professional tree trimmer was summoned to a Michigan park and climbed a nearly 50-foot tree to rescue a stranded cat.
Robin Walenga, an animal advocate and rescuer in Grand Rapids, said a member of the public reported a cat was stranded nearly 50 feet off the ground in the high branches of a tree in Richmond Park.
Walenga called Erick Baker of Tip Top Tree Care LLC, who has helped her with tree rescues in the past.
Baker used a rope mechanism to scale the tree and reach the stranded cat.
Baker said the rescue took about 30 minutes.
Walenga said the cat has been placed in a foster home while rescuers try to determine whether it was a stray or an escaped pet.
