Hi there- kindly tree surgeons. I have joined this forum to find out if there are any tree surgeons any of you could recommend that might be willing to attempt a cat rescue in Bristol please?

 

I too have just read the amazing story about the cat rescued after 12 days- with abseiling gear.

 

I have already contacted the RSPCA and they will conduct a site visit- but they are being a bit slow, so i wanted to pass on the name of a willing tree surgeon to them if possible to speed up the process of cat rescue.

 

So far the cat has been up there for two days- about to spend its third night up the tree.

 

Tree type- three dense fir trees. I have alread tried climbing up myself, but the ladder was not long enough and the branches too thick for me to reach the cat without chopping some branches down, and i am not an expert.

 

Cat is about 30-40 ft up. it is mobile and can move between the trees at the same level but cannot come down. Its mews are getting weaker today, and i am very worried about it.

 

Any help or advice is much appreciated.

 

And sorry for joing this thread/forum for such an obscure reason.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hope you can get some help.

 

I have attempted to rescue around 3 cats now.

 

Do you know what happens as soon as you get near them?

 

They jump down out of the tree!

 

Well thats what happened to me.

 

So all ended well for the cat.

Thanks so much for your help. I hope the cat doesn't jump out of the tree- it might break it's little legs. There are two huskies on one side- which we think scared it up- either that or the foxes that also run around day and night. I did put some stinky fish out to tempt it down, but found the plastic container dragged half way across my garden-as i think it provided a nice meal for said foxes.

 

Anyway, thanks for all your help. And Carl has been in touch.
