A treed cat is safe after intervention by a local business.
The cat, black with green eyes, found itself stuck in a tree last Thursday near 8860 Greene Avenue South in Thompson Grove after it climbed up but couldn’t quite find its way back down.
“On October 24, 2024 a black cat with glowing green eyes ran up and into a neighbor’s tree,” Chris Ackerman shared via email with the paper. “The cat was in the tree for almost nestled up for 18 hours.” Friendly and responding to sweet talk, there was no collar.
Noticed after noon on Thursday, the rescue operation soon began. Laura Ackerman contacted Trusty Shellback Welding, a local mobile welding and CNC fabrication shop to hoist their crane adjacent to the tree and allow for a safe exit.
It took a dark and stormy night aloft, but by and by the black cat with green eyes decided to take the offer and made its way back to terra firma safely via the extended boom. The rescue crew was thankful the cat was safe.
“We didn’t want to cause a commotion,” neighbor Eileen Wakefield commented of the cat rescue. “A real live black cat in a tree is the ultimate Halloween decoration.”
