Sassy the Cat Rescued from Weeklong Treetop Adventure
This week in Syracuse, NY, a black cat named Sassy was rescued from a weeklong stay in a tall Pine tree by Mike Shetler of the A Cut Above Tree Service.
Sassy had been spooked, and found herself unable to shift into reverse to exit the tree. Shetler expertly scaled the tree, stashed Sassy in a backpack, and returned her to terra firma, into the arms of owner Brian Kattenborn.
Here’s the video:

Sassy was lucky. Shetler recalls a cat who was stuck in a tree for 14 days back in 1998. He rescued that cat, too, and nursed him back to health.
Kattenborn reports that Sassy smells like a Pine tree, but is otherwise doing fine.

Cheers to “A Cut Above The Tree Service” for helping Sassy get back to her family. Yay!
I’m glad Sassy was rescued from the tree. It’s no fun getting stuck. I got stuck in a tall tree once and the firefighters brought a big ladder to rescue me.
I’m so glad Sassy was rescued!! I’m surprised she stayed up there that long. I thought a cat would eventually find their way down when they got hungry.
