Stick around to the end for some crazy tea! I got a call about this unknown cat in stuck in a river birch near a condo development in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. The community came together to try to find an owner (no luck there) or someone willing to take responsibility for the little grey kitty. A caring human stepped up to take the cat in, and we were ready for a rescue. Sweetest little female cat that they are now calling Bailey Blue #catinatree # #animalrescue#getmeowtahere#catinatreerescue

Dwayne and Kaliya work together to rescue a hungry, frightened cat trapped in a tree. After successfully coaxing the animal down with food and securing it in a carrier, they discuss the critical importance of intervening in such situations to prevent dehydration and organ failure, while criticizing the lack of compassion shown by some who suggest leaving trapped animals alone.
My name is Kaliya. Kaliya, I'm Dwayne. Nice to meet you. Thank you for doing this. You're welcome.
I hope this cat lets me get it. Okay. You never know. Yeah.
He or she is definitely pretty spooked. Have you seen this cat around before? No.
Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty. Hey, kitty.
Hi, kitty, kitty. Hi, little kitten.
Hi, kitty, kitty. Hi.
Hey, let's try to give you some food, baby.
Oh, yeah, you like that. Okay.
Now that I know you like that, I can get in a better position.
You're a little baby kitten. Oh, be careful.
Actually, you're not a baby. You're a good-sized cat.
Hi, you're a sweet kitten. You're a sweet little kitten.
Oh, you're putting your claws in me.
Hold on. I'll get up there.
Just give me a second, baby. Hold on, kitty.
Hold on, little kitten. Hold on, kitty cat.
You just want loving. This is a very sweet cat.
You are just a sweet little kitty. Let me get over here.
Okay, we're about to do this now. Nice kitty.
What a nice kitty. This kitty's climbing right on my lap.
Hold on, kitty. Oh, you jumped right on my lap. You're okay.
You're okay, kitty. It's just a kitten.
But I've got to put him in this bag. It just bit me.
It's kind of a wild cat. I've got to put this cat in this bag.
You're going to be okay. You're all right.
The cat's in the bag. Oh, you are fantastic.
What a pretty little kitten. What a pretty little kitten.
This is a very sweet cat. Lay it down now, and I'm going to give it the rest of this food.
Okay, good. Here, buddy. Here, kitty.
Very hungry cat. Super hungry cat.
It just rammed its face into it to get the food.
It is a beautiful, sweet, sweet cat.
If you don't rescue the cat, does the cat
eventually come down on their own? Sometimes.
Sometimes. I've had some very bad things happen.
Because if cats go without food for very long, they
suffer internal organ damage. So they might be up there for a week
and especially if it hasn't rained,
that's the worst because they get so dehydrated. But if it
rains, they will get hydration from licking the fur and licking the
leaves and things like that. But I have had
to do some body recoveries out of trees.
I know.
No, you did the right thing.
You did the right thing.
Here's the thing. The cat's obviously suffering.
It's up there starving and suffering. It's been probably three days now.
Why not help a suffering creature if you can help a
suffering creature? Instead of, oh, I've never seen it, so it can't,
it's impossible. They even said, I said, well, what if it gets
a week, falls out? They said they're going to land on their feet.
But like you said, not if they're dying.
Well, my vet is the one who told me that if the cat couldn't climb down,
there was a cat killer.
Well, your vet probably should take up a different profession.
Well, she did, actually, because she was doing
ketamine, so she lost her life.
Yeah, that's not a good, that's not a very compassionate stance.
