Description
The Pacific Northwest is known for its towering trees. Douglas firs rank as the second-highest tree species in the world and can reach heights of over 300 feet, about as tall as the Statue of Liberty. Whether chasing a bird or escaping predators like coyotes, some terrified cats get stuck high up in these trees. In Oregon and Washington, arborists aid cats crying for help.
The Oregon Humane Society offers a list of arborists who can safely remove cats from trees, including Rick Bunch. The nonprofit Canopy Cat Rescue, co-founded by Tom Otto, helps cats throughout Washington. Otto and Bunch join us with more details about their work.
