Update: The cat has since been rescued from the tree.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — A Lansing man is begging for help to save his cat Mama, who has been stuck in a tree near his Howe Street home for four days.
The owner of Mama, Mark Hiar, says his neighbor’s dog attacked a woman walking nearby, and while the dog was loose, it chased the cat up a large tree near his home.
He says the fire department and Animal Control won’t help, and tree service companies are asking him for more than $350 to rescue the cat. Now retired, Hiar says he can not afford the price to save Mama and is worried things may not end well…
