In short, firefighters have definitely been known to save cats from trees. That way, firefighters are never faced with making potentially ill-fated judgment calls. A third fire official said his fire department keeps it simple by having a blanket no-saving-cats-from-trees policy. “If they take the ladder truck to free a cat, then get a call for a heart attack, how do we explain that to the victim?” he said. DiFronzo, fire chief in Southbridge, Massachusetts, told the Telegram & Gazette that they’ll decline if they’re understaffed. “Our equipment is specifically for fighting fires in dwellings and things of that nature.” Trying to navigate a ladder through leaf-filled, gnarled branches could damage the ladder (and/or the firefighter). “It's not something we’re equipped to do,” Fire Chief Dean Kochanowski of Dudley, Massachusetts, explained in 2018. Some will at least go assess the situation to see if it’s a quick, easy rescue. That said, other fire departments have told callers that they can’t fetch felines from trees. It’s not just trees, either-in 2019, Georgia’s Roswell Fire Department shared on Facebook that although most of its members had responded to a cat-stuck-in-a-tree call at least once, “more often we are rescuing cute and curious kittens stuck in walls.” (The post was accompanied by some pictures of a cute and curious kitten they had just rescued from inside a wall.) Firefighters have rescued cats from trees in California, Florida, and Pennsylvania all in the past few months. And this course of action does sometimes get results. Since fire departments famously have long, sturdy ladders in their possession, it makes sense that you’d give them a call if your beloved pet was stranded on a high branch. The short answer is this: It depends on the fire department and also the tree. The debacle no doubt prompted some people to wonder whether firefighters ever actually rescue cats from trees, or if that’s just another age-old misconception propagated by charming children’s books and TV shows. Instead, the job fell to Allmark Tree & Crane Service. According to Newsweek, part of the reason it took so long to organize a rescue mission after Bae was first spotted on May 24 was because the Schenectady Fire Department declined to do it. What’s about you, fur friends? Ever got stucks? Id love to hear what happened and how your hooman helped you.On Monday, May 31, in Schenectady, New York, a cat named Bae was finally rescued after spending a week or longer stuck in a park tree. Ms Heather calls silver thing a screwdriver.Īnd in moments, I was out of bathroom. I then seen a thin silver stick come through the narrow crack of door. She kept trying open bathroom door and drawer was stopping her. I guess she was talking to the hooman she calls Steve (finds him at ). I heard my Ms Heather talking to someone. I is just a kitten, No? Her voice quickly changed. She no seems to understand I no speak fluent hooman. I knocked some if Ms Heathers things into the sink. He seems stuck in the shiny thing my hooman calls a mirror. There I seen the black cat that no plays with me. I do no like being where I cannot sees my Ms Heather when I want to. She put my litter box into the bathroom and closed the door. I don’t know what that means but she said something about keeping me away.
