"She wanted to be safe. She was just petrified, overall freezing. Couldn't stop shaking. For about half the climb down, I put her in my sweatshirt and let her head peek out so she could breathe."
"This went on for hours. We tried everything that we could. They tried to help the cat with a two-by-four, stacking plastic chairs, and rolling over old tires left in the backyard."
"We were actually out shoveling and just decided to go see what we could do about it. His sister saw the post on Nextdoor, and if she can go out and help a person or an animal, she will."
Pixie, a white and gray cat, became trapped 50 feet up in a tree during Rhode Island's record snowstorm, remaining stuck for nearly two days with three feet of snow on the ground. The cat's owner and neighbors attempted multiple rescue methods including using a two-by-four, stacking plastic chairs, and rolling tires, but all efforts failed. Police, fire, and animal control declined to assist, suggesting tree services instead. A neighbor posted about the situation on Nextdoor, where Matthew Lyons, an ironworker, and his sister saw the plea. Lyons climbed the tree and successfully brought Pixie down to safety, keeping her warm in his sweatshirt during the descent.
