ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. -- The South Bend Fire Department and Penn Township Fire Department both rescued feline friends trapped in trees this spring.

On April 9, Penn Fire responded to a citizen assist and arrived to find a concerned homeowner with their cat stuck high up in a tree.

The crew said it’s not every day they actually get called to rescue a cat from a tree.

After a quick assessment, the crew safely removed tree limbs, and the cat was brought down with no injuries to the owner's relief.

Thursday morning, SBFD responded to a call for a cat in a tight spot.

The report states a curious cat wedged itself deep in the "V" of a tree trunk and couldn’t get out on its own.

Fire officials say with some careful teamwork and a little patience, the cat was safely freed.

SBFD stated, "No call is too small when it comes to helping our community!"
