Day 30: Cat is Out of the Bag

We had some excitement on our block this morning. Our neighbors told us of a cat that had been stuck up on their tree for 5 days--50 feet up!--and asked if we knew of anyone who was missing their cat.They had called the Fire Department, Police, Vet, Animal Shelters and no one could help with such a task (when you watch the video--you'll see why). Craig, having his amazing list of real estate contacts (and a kind heart) immediately called his tree trimmer to help. Sal came over this morning (at his personal time/expense), with his entire family & provided us with heroic entertainment.  What a treat to watch his skill to rescue this unknown cat who would have died up there.  Many of our neighbors came out for the show as well. (ps - Sal is the best tree trimmer ever & all around great guy as you can probably see--salvador@martinlawn.com / 224-522-5563)

So, we took the cat out of the bag--and brought him to a local shelter (Wright Way), who said they do not accept donations.  The cat does not have a chip--and thus she is now in our care...
Do you know anyone who might want a sweet little cat?  If we didn't have the craziest dog known to man, and I wasn't completely allergic, we would take her.  Sadly...
