Does the Plainville Fire Department Get Cats Out of Trees?
Although we get many calls regarding assistance with cats stuck in trees, we do not respond to assist
with this type of problem. The reason for this policy is because it is difficult to justify the
commitment of personnel and apparatus for cats when it may inhibit saving the life or property of a
member of the community.
However, persons are encouraged to put food at the base of the tree and allow the cat to come down on
its own, which usually occurs. There are many local businesses, such as tree surgeons, that can assist
a citizen if the problem is not remedied.
