There is almost nothing more cliché than hearing about a cat stuck up in a tree. Have you ever wondered how they get stuck up there? Cats are excellent climbers and impressive jumpers, so how do they manage to get stuck so often?
In order to save a cat from a tree they are stuck in, it takes quite a bit of work. This rescuer had to earn a kitten's trust before he was able to rescue the kitty. If you move too fast when attempting a rescue, it might scare the kitten even more and force it farther up the tree, making it harder to rescue.
Robert Reese is a teacher and he has made it his mission to rescue animals trapped in trees. So far, he has been able to rescue 67 kitties and one dog from trees since 2013. You can see more about his rescues on his website. He has helpful tips there for anyone who is trying to rescue an animal caught up in a tree, like giving it at least 24 hours to come down on its own first.
In the video below, Robert climbs at 50-foot tree to rescue a seven-month-old kitten. He's able to gain her trust by offering her some food. The poor thing must have been starving, as she'd been stuck for 11 days.
