hugha Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 There's a kitten, 6 months old, stuck up a tree in Hayes Grove. It's on the bank near the train track. Fire brigade don't deal with cats anymore. It's by the train track but Southern rail can't help. Does anyone have any ideas or is able to help please?

sdrs Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I hope the kitten is brought down safely, it must be really cold, hungry and weak by now. Does anyone have any idea whose it is?

rendelharris Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Went round to see if we could help (couldn't) - by dint of a spectacular piece of bravery from Mr.Kitten Owner, going up sixty feet odd on a ladder in the dark by railway tracks, and a fiendish bit of ingenuity on the part of Mrs.Kitten Owner, fashioning a cat carrier/washing pole entrapment device, Boris the kitten was safely recovered. Better than the telly, it was! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/98692-kitten-stuck-up-tree-for-2-days-help/#findComment-976090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugha Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I won't pussy foot around this, thank you everybody for avoiding this cat-astrophy by a whisker. I hope Boris is feline better soon. There were some hairy moments, but I'm glad there's a happy end to this tail. I'd like to paws to salute the purr-severance of the rescue team.

AJenk1 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Huge thanks to Hugh for posting the message in the first place, genius & huge thanks to Cat & Wes... You guys were beyond amazing & Boris is home & safe after over 2 days. Honestly my faith in humanity was restored tonight as I met some pretty amazing people that took time out to help... Made our weekend. Thank you East Dulwich forum... Boris is still purring but about to collapse from his ordeal. Hope I can pay it forward sometime soon xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/98692-kitten-stuck-up-tree-for-2-days-help/#findComment-976119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerveld Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 You're v welcome. And I am now a little tipsy ;-). Glad Boris is back in your loving home. Hugha - some terrible puns there, thought I was bad. Thanks to the random builder today who left his massive ladder outside the flat - fate if ever there was some.

Bic Basher Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 In future, contact Network Rail, they're in charge of the area surrounding the railway track.

Sue Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Glad kitten is safe and well.Do RSPCA not help in cases like this if Fire Service don't any more?

AJenk1 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hi all, Hugh... Some amazing puns there... Finished off the whole story purr-fectly!! Massive thanks to Cat & Wez again. Did call around, RSCPA said to call Firebrigade, Railtrack/Netwotk rail told me to call Fire service as they're the only ones that can call for permission to resume on their property. Fire service said he'd eventually come down when hungry. Thank goodness we rescued him without going onto Network rail property :-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/98692-kitten-stuck-up-tree-for-2-days-help/#findComment-976149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

beth3 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 A wonderful happy ending, and solved a mystery for me. We had a distraught message from the builder to say the ladders he left outside the flat had disappeared. By the time we got home late Saturday evening they were right where he left them. We wondered how he could possibly have missed them! Very glad they were put to such good use.
