Tuesday, Sabrina picks up the phone, and dials the fire department on 18. On the line, the fire department. “They told me they could do nothing. And a cat always ended coming down.”  The hope she had, darkens when they reply to her,” We never seen a cat skeleton in a tree.”  The shock to the pet owner. “How can you say that!”  She reminds fire fighters, twice, three times, four times.  “Always the same answer, it comes down when it’s hungry.  But it does not fall!  “There was an incident several years somewhere near Saint-Brieuc, a couple found a dead cat mummified by cutting a birch …”

This is a life anyway!

Sabrina is not satisfied with this answer. “I know it’s not a human, but it is a life anyway!”  Roxy is weakened, it is clear. she must be panicked.”  The colonel Vermeulen, patron of firefighters, said: “We made 216 interventions with animals, fallen into cavities or other last year. Their lives were in danger, there was urgency. Here, we know from experience that the cat will eventually come down.”

When such an event happens, individuals should rather call the town hall. the best solution is then sought to intervene, which I did by finding a company adapted to the situation. ” 4.30pm,  Roxy, the cat is rescued and finds the land healthy and sound. Clement has climbed 12 meters to the branch to free Roxy fron her awkward position. A story that ends well almost, because Sabrina “feels anger towards the fire brigade.”
