Rescue Me

Rescue Me!

• Cat up a tree

2
The situation

• A good Samaritan who lived on the south side of
  Columbus heard a crying sound from a very tall
  tree.

The challenge..

• There was a huge orange tiger kitty stuck about
  50 feet up the tree.

As the day turned into night and into day again

• Contrary to popular belief, the fire department
  does not rescue cats in trees.
• Many tree trimming services will attempt the
  rescue, for a fee.
• This poor kitty spent four days 50 feet up this
  tree waiting for help as his human friend tried
  to find someone, anyone who would get the kitty
  down for a price she could afford.

• The good Samaritan called the Capital Area Humane
  Society.
• While the Cruelty Investigators worked to locate
  help, the good Samaritan's cat kept a vigil at
  the base of the tree, meowing encouragement.

A Hero to the Rescue

• An incredibly compassionate tree trimmer
  volunteered his services. His bucket truck was
  out of service, so Wolf Thierschmann went up the
  tree.

  abrasions on his gums from trying to eat the tree
  branches and leaves.

Im sooo tired

• Our kitty recovers at the Capital Area Humane
  Society. He slept for almost two days straight
  recovering from his terrifying ordeal. He was
  fed small amounts of food frequently to avoid
  making him sick after his five days of no food or
  water.

  samaritan tree trimmer, Wolf! He plans to name
  the kitty Lazarus.
