A “DISTRAUGHT” cat stuck up a 30ft tree was rescued by firefighters after a little negotiation.
Ginger cat Charlie found himself on top of a mammoth conifer in Manor Road, Horsham on Wednesday.
Firefighters attended after Charlie’s owner called the RSPCA and the fire brigade.
Watch commander Mick Lewin carried out a daring rope rescue to reunite the feline with its owner.
“When we arrived we found Charlie, a ginger cat, almost right at the top of the conifer tree. He was visibly distraught and wasn’t coming down on his own,” he said.
“Using the service’s Unimog, we were able to carry out a rope rescue to get to Charlie, and after a little negotiation with him, we were able to get him safely back down.”
