Rescuing Javier - Cat-Stuck-In-Tree-Rescue

On Saturday, August 5th, I rescued Javier from a large oak tree in Burlington, VT, where he had been stuck for 3 days. The poor guy had endured 2 days of heavy thunderstorms and downpours. The local fire department had attempted a ladder rescue the day before, but were unable to get him. He was described as sweet, but with a history of being temperamental and biting at times. Up in the canopy he was a mix of sweet and stand-off-ish so I opted not to try and pick him up and instead quickly pulled him from his perch into my animal net placed below him. Everything went very smoothly. Back in the house he was a total sweetheart.

Awesome! I learned to climb trees using SRT with your previous videos a few months back.
