TREE WORKER RESCUES CAT STRANDED HIGH IN TREE
WITH VID

Watch as a stranded cat is finally rescued after spending nearly 24 hours trapped high in a tree while desperate owners searched for help.
Lexcie Curtiss captured the emotional rescue in Michigan, USA.
The video shows a tree worker carefully climbing high into the tree to reach Howard the cat, who had been stuck far above the ground overnight.
Lexcie said she first realized Howard was missing around 9 p.m. and spent the entire night searching for him before finally spotting him in the tree the following morning.
After the local fire department reportedly explained they no longer handle animal rescues, Curtiss turned to social media for help and began contacting tree service companies.
Most companies either declined or warned about liability concerns, while one company explained cats often come down on their own after several days.
Unwilling to leave Howard trapped any longer, Curtiss pleaded for help until Brandon from Brawner’s Tree Service agreed to come out during Memorial Day weekend.
The rescuer successfully climbed the tree and safely brought Howard back down to the ground.
According to Curtiss, the workers refused payment for the rescue, though the family insisted on tipping them afterward.
The heartwarming clip was shared on Instagram where one user commented: "Disappointed in the fire department. Ive always heard they rescued cats."
