We have found a tabby cat up in our tree who is too scared to come down.  We have tried to coax it down, but no luck.  We have dogs, who use a dog door, but we closed it and made sure they stayed inside so as not to scare the cat.  After many hours, the cat is still in the tree, maybe 15-20 feet up. My husband tried to approach it, but it hisses and starts to climb even higher.  

 

The cat looks well cared for, as it has a collar and a name tag, but we can't get close enough.  Like I said, it is a Tabby cat, blue collar. We live in the Talus Ridge part of Broadstone, close to Costco, if you know anyone missing a cat in this area.  Now we're going on at least seven hours that this poor kitty has been stuck up there.

 

Any suggestions?

I have heard of firefighters helping out cats in trees, not sure if they do in Folsom

After a cold night, the kitty was still up in the tree this morning.  I spoke with Cindy from Animal Services, and she posted it on the city website plus made some phone calls to houses on other streets near our house.  Bingo!  We had a happy owner come by, climb the ladder and the tree, and the kitty came to him immediately.  I'm so happy the cat (who the owner said is an indoor cat and never before climbed a tree) was reunited with the family.

 

Kudos to Cindy Walden, as she went out of her way.

Thanks for providing an update. I'm glad there is a happy ending!!!

I am glad that it had a happy ending, the cat will be careful not to have any more adventures for a long time :)
