Animal Rescuer Catches Kitten Falling Out of a Tree

John Debacker from Long Island Cat Kitten Rescue used skill, patience, a can of cat food, and great reflexes to help a kitten in need. The baby was discovered 40 feet up in a tree in Hempstead, New York, but it's a mystery as to why and how the kitten got there. It was a balancing act for the animal rescuer, who used one hand to climb and the other to carry the food. Inside Edition Digital has more.

I might've been able 2 make that catch, but i wouldn't have been able to climb the top of that ladder. I probably would've fell.😅

It's not a mystery how the kitten got there because cats love scratching & climbing.

[@LetsGoBrandon247]

A mystery as to why or how the kitten was up there? Cats climb trees, then get scared trying to come down. Duh! Great reporting as usual.

[@jasminew4490]

All I heard was “Help, Help” 🥹 from the kitten

[@AuskaDezjArdamaath]

“It’s a mystery how he got there” 🙄
It’s a cat. It climbed up. Duh!

[@Bear-ig5gu]

They don't take fall damage but nice gesture🙂

[@scooterbaby1]

if you didn't make that catch it would have been a cat-astrophic

[@pamelanadel3787]

Damn! How did he keep his balance on that ladder?! Well done!

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

JOHN IS A HERO. I HOPE DODO CAN MAKE A SPOTLIGHT ON HIM SO HE COULD HAVE MORE CONDITIONS TO HELP. HES THE ONLY ONE ALWAYS GIVING THESE ANIMALS A SECOND CHANCE. HE DOES NOT DO THAT FOR FAME. HE REALLY LOVE THESE ANIMALS

This aspiring kitten scientist wanted an early start at testing out the 9 cat lives theory.

[@GoonieLord]

Cats go up tress, not many can come down.
