Rescuing Jenny (Cat-Stuck-In-Tree-Rescue)

Rescuing "Jenny" from a nasty white pine tree in Shelburne on Saturday where she was stranded for 3 days about 25' off of the ground. The tree was unsafe to climb so I used a 40' ladder the neighbors had, along with some of my lanyards for extra safety. Jenny was very scared and threatened to climb even higher up the tree, but in the end she did very well with the rescue.
Special thanks to everyone who assisted with this rescue.

Dude, that was awesomely executed. I love the bag you used: ingenious!

Thanks! It's just a simple laundry bag with drawstring from walmart. Cut a slit in bottom and sew in glove of your choice. It's a great option. Some cats let you pick them up with two hands normally, others require the scruff technique. This was a tricky rescue. I actually spent an hour trying to set a line in this tree. only options were like 70' up. nothing great to work with. I did a bounce test on one, but all the branches sloped downwards, and i just couldnt' get the shot up on the branch collar, and after testing line i knew branch(es) would fail. Luckily the big ladder was still kicking around. First time using a ladder, but I did feel safe with lanyard around it.....

@@judsonkimble I've seen way too many rescues now where the cat just jumps -- that bag trick is brilliant and your kitty-talk-method chills those kitties right out! You are the Cat Rescuer
