Teenage Boys Need More Help Than Cats
You would think a cat would be the one to get rescued, but instead this teen boy needed it more.
A teenager at an Indianapolis park decided to be a rescuer last Saturday afternoon, only to end up being rescued.
Owen, a 17-year-old boy, saw a cat just sitting in a tree and wanted to help it down.
“I was trying to do a good deed and bring the cat to safety,” says Owen.
Owen didn’t have any problems getting up the tree, but getting down was a struggle. Firefighters had to use a rope system to get the boy down about two hours after he got up.
Rita Reith says, “While Owen had no trouble climbing up the tree –- his positioning did not allow the same ease for getting down.”
Owen was examined by medics to only find a few scratches and was later reunited with his parents while the cat remained in the tree. Monday, the 21-year-old cat’s owner called private services to rescue her little kitty.
“The cat seemed to enjoy the commotion but made no effort to climb down the tree,” says Reith.

What a twist of events! Kinda ironic that the person who was trying to save the cat became the one who needed saving.

It’s kind of funny that he did all that work, just for the cat not to be rescued until later.
