SAVING CATS FROM LEDGES

A notable percentage of emergency cases our Animal Rescue Officers attend to are rescuing community or pet cats stranded on a high ledge. Such rescues pose a certain level of danger both for the cat and the officer.

Pictured is a cat which was safely rescued by one of our officers last week. This grey cat was stuck on a corridor ledge seven floors high. The officer performed a situational assessment and managed to bring it to safety with the necessary equipment.

We were able to respond in time thanks to a kind member of public who called our emergency hotline upon spotting this cat. In a situation like this where time is of the essence as an animal requires immediate assistance, please call our 24-hour emergency hotline at 6287 5355 (ext 9) as our emails and social media channels are not manned all the time.

Additionally, we urge for cat owners to mesh their windows and gates in the spirit of good neighbourliness, and to keep your cat safely in the house.

We are always grateful to learn that there are many animal lovers out there who continue to help us save lives.
