The last thing that Rebecca thought would happen while she was away was that one of her cats goes missing and the other finds herself stuck up a tree for 4 days!! However, while Rebecca was in England, her husband rang worried about the two cats. Blossom, the 18 mth old black cat, who usually resides inside. managed to find her way out the back door and up the tree in the back yard. Jason was quite worried about her after she refused to come down so he rang the fire brigade. When the fire brigade came out, they tried getting Blossom down but as she was scared of them, she ran further up the tree out of reach. The Fire Brigade could no longer help so Jason then contacted the RSPCA, SES, the council and even tree removalists to seek help but no-one could help. On the morning of the 4th day, Rebecca phoned us from England very distressed about Blossom. We then phoned Jason and gave him Nigel’s Animal Rescue‘s phone number who, when he heard how long Blossom had been up the tree,  came out straight away to rescue Blossom. Two hours later, she was home and safe.

As for the couple’s other cat Buddy, well he still hasn’t returned home. The couple are hoping someone may have taken him thinking he was lost. It is in Buddy’s nature to wander off meeting new people. the 2 children especially miss Buddy so if anyone sees him in the Heathmont area, please phone the clinic. Buddy is a neutered male, 2 yr old ginger and white  Domestic Shorthair.

Nigel’s Animal Rescue is a 24 hr service. Tel: 0427533083.
