CAT needs rescue in Forest Park GA

UPDATE:

Thank you to everyone who responded to our email about the cat in a tree. We’re glad to report that it appears the cat was able to come down on her own. Our complainants will continue to monitor the area for concerns.

Thank you again for your compassion for animals!



Hello!

I’m one of PETA’s caseworkers. We’ve just gotten a call about a frightened cat in Forest Park, GA who’s been stuck in a tree for three days. We’re working to find a tree service to rescue her, but in the meantime we’d like to find somebody who would be willing to, with our advice, implement some basic strategies to encourage the cat to come down on her own. You will need a ladder (the taller the better--we won’t ask you to climb the tree, but rather to place food at the top of the ladder), some bait (tuna or mackerel), and a cat carrier in which to place the cat if she comes down (at which point we’d ask you to take her to the local shelter). You will need your own transportation, but we could reimburse for gas (save your receipts)!

If you think you can help us today (Tuesday 3/16), please email or call me right away and I will provide the address and work out a plan of action with you. Please only call or email if you can help. You may forward this message.

Thank you for your compassion for animals
