Kelowna arborist rescues cat stranded in a tree for two days

A local arborist managed to rescue a cat in a tree in Rutland last weekend.

Shannon Hyde owns Sisu Tree Care. Typically his days are full of pruning, cutting trees and yard clean-ups in the fall. But he's also ready to jump into action to rescue animals, especially cats that get stuck in trees.

"Firemen, contrary to popular belief, they do not rescue cats out of trees," Hyde said.

This particular cat was up a tree for 48 hours when he got the call on Sunday.
