Ti Chi – Cat in Tree
A man arrived at a local park to do some morning exercise when he noticed something unusual under a nearby tree. “I do Tai Chi every morning right there, and I saw this cat carrier (sitting on the ground),” he shared in a video with Greenpoint Cats, an all-volunteer cat rescue. To his surprise, there was a cat perched on a large branch of the tree. It appeared the cat the carrier had been abandoned and the cat climbed the tree to seek refuge. Our hero dragged a nearby picnic table under the tree and climbed up to get closer to the cat. He reached out just enough to pet the tabby and realized she was friendly but unwilling to budge. The cat clung to the branch, steadying herself against the trunk. “I’m trying to get her back into this cat carrier. She lets me pet her and is fairly friendly, but she just won’t get back into this carrier. And I have no skills with tree cats.” After contacting local authorities and the city shelter with no luck, he was able to get in touch with volunteers at Greenpoint Cats, who stepped in to help. They safely brought the cat down from the tree and lovingly named her Tai Chi.
At the vet, they discovered she was a senior cat in need of medical care. Thanks to the support of Greenpoint Cats, Tai Chi received the treatment she needed. She settled into foster care and quickly made herself at home. She cozied up near her people and curled into a perfect loaf shape. Before long, she was snuggling with her humans, soaking up all the love. “Tai Chi is the ultimate lap cat with a heart full of love and a voice that demands it,” Greenpoint Cats shared. “This elegant older lady was rescued from high up in a tree after being abandoned in a park, but she hasn’t let that dim her affectionate spirit.” “She enjoys lounging like a world-class loaf and prefers naps over playtime—don’t expect much pouncing from this retired huntress.” Tai Chi follows her humans everywhere, always the perfect companion. “She’ll greet you at the door with delightful trills and tap your arm when it’s time (right now) for pets.”
Kitten Lost Underground
Pamela Gallagher, who lives in the Bay Shore area on Long Island, said she heard animal sounds coming from underneath her back deck. Firefighters pulled up some boards and discovered the sounds were coming from about 10 to 15 feet underground, inside a downspout. John Debacker of Long Island Cat and Kitten Solution responded to the home and played recorded kitten sounds to lure the tiny feline close enough that he could reach it with a catch pole. The kitten, now named Piper, was turned over to NYC Second Chance Rescue for veterinary care and, eventually, adoption. Debacker said he is now trying to determine whether the kitten’s mother and siblings are somewhere nearby. He said he is hoping to find the mother cat and have her spayed.
