Cat rescued from a tree, somewhere in Hougang

Earlier today (Sep 17, 2014), we were alerted to a tabby seen perched on the branches of a tree there. The cat was suspected to be in distress, as related to us by our informers.

Our rescue pair, upon arriving at the scene, appraised how they could reach the cat with a catchpole. (A ladder was readied too which then turned out redundant for this mission.)

Applying some strategy and well-timed movements, they succeeded in hauling the cat to safety, after it came within grasp of the fully extended catch pole.

The cat could then be hauled away from the branches as one officer clutched on to it, then lowering it safely to the ground.

Alas, the cat leapt out of his hands as he reached the ground, and sped off. The cat didn�t sport a collar, and from our informers� observations too, had to be a community cat.

Kudos to our two different informers, for alerting us to the cat�s distressed state.

Members of the public can, likewise, help us to help any injured, sick and/or distressed animal, by calling our 24-hour emergency hotline at 62875355 extension 9, and clear emergency cases would be given priority.
