Does King County Animal Care and Control rescue cats trapped in trees?
No. King County Animal Care and Control does not rescue cats trapped in trees. In almost all cases, the cat will come down on its own in time. Encourage the cat to come down by putting some very smelly food at the base of the tree, like tuna fish. The smell of the food will attract the cat’s interest and the cat will come down to eat. You can also call a local tree service to get the cat down – they have the proper equipment to safely rescue a cat. Tim Brown (425-641-7651) provides rescue services.
