Boy, am I gonna have fun scrappin’ this page!

As you can probably tell from the picture (click on the picture to enlarge), our little 6 month old kitten was stuck up about 60 feet in this tree for about 8 hours yesterday. Here in Littleton, CO it has been bitter cold so we knew she could not stay up there all night. We went through every single agency we thought might be able to help us or give us a number of someone to help…..NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING!!! Talk about frustrating! It was like they told us to watch her die up there a slow, sad death. So my hubby and our neighbors rigged up a long pole and got up as high as they could with ladders and tried to get her into a basket. After about 30 mins of watching her play with the basket we made up a loop on the end of the pole (kind of like what they use to catch dogs with) and put it around her neck and yanked her out of the tree. At that point it was more humane to me to do that than to watch her starve or freeze to death up there. She is fine and very happy to be an indoor cat now, just like I wanted her in the first place!
