Cats can often get themselves into tricky situations, and there’s a reason why the saying goes that cats have nine lives. Some of a cat’s favorite things to do include laying out in a spot where people often step, sleeping under parked cars, and climbing high objects that they then can’t get down from.
This next story involves your classic cat stuck up a tree situation, but the kitten stuck up there was in need of much more than just being taken back down to the ground.
The poor thing appeared to be a stray and was in urgent need of veterinary care. Luckily, the kind people who recused her were there to nurse her back to health, and her transformation is incredible.
Sweety Kitty shared the amazing video footage of the rescue along with the caption:
“On a rainy day, we heard a mournful meow in the street. On a tree, the kitten was trapped and could not go down to the ground.”
Their video now has over 13 million views and thousands of likes and comments as people praised the rescuer for bringing the kitten safely back to the ground again.
The video begins with footage showing a very tall tree in somebody’s yard. But in a shocking moment, when the camera zooms in you can see that there’s a tiny ginger cat stuck on the very top of the trunk. You can hear just how scared she is as she meows repeatedly, but she’s too terrified to move. One false move and she could fall to the ground – and she’s very high up.
The footage shows the rescuer propping a tall ladder next to the tree and beginning to climb up.
It’s a race against time to get the cat down before she falls, but the rescuer also has to be careful that he doesn’t scare her into movement. As he approaches the cat, the man makes comforting noises and moves slowly as he gets closer.
Finally, the man is able to get hold of the kitten by the scruff of her neck, and he slowly begins to bring her down the ladder. It’s a tense moment, and we can’t help holding our breath until they’re both safely back on the ground! Now its time to give the kitty the care that she needs.
The poor baby is shaking from a mixture of fear and cold, and the first thing to do is give her a lovely warm bath. Her fur is matted and dirty, and it looks like she’d been stuck up that tree for a long time. Nothing that a good hot shower can’t sort out!
Once she’s covered in water, you can really see just how skinny this little stray is.
She also has a few injuries that need treatment. But first, it’s time to give her some food. Now that she’s warm and dry, the poor thing is probably realizing just how starving hungry she is!
Unsurprisingly, as soon as she’s presented with a bowl of tasty food, the kitten sticks her head straight in and doesn’t stop eating until her bowl is empty. The poor thing must have been starving.
Just look at how much healthier she looks just after having a bath and a good meal!
We hope that this sweet kitty went onto have her happy ending, and we’re so grateful to the brave man who risked his life to rescue her. Watch the amazing video below!
