Tired of waiting for someone to do something, Michael "Beeper" Zeigler climbed a 100-foot oak tree in Lower Windsor Township to rescue Tinkerbell the cat.
Tinkerbell was stuck in the tree at the Zeigler Trailer Park for four days.
Zeigler grabbed the
orange-and-white tiger-striped cat, who was about 75 feet up, said the cat's owner, Allison March.
He then climbed down and tossed the cat to people who were holding a blanket below, she said.
Zeigler went up the tree after local firefighters stopped by Thursday to see if they could help but could not. Power lines were too close to the tree to use the ladder truck.
March said she hasn't had a chance to thank Zeigler, the brother of one of her neighbors.
"He saved my cat. He is so awesome. I am going to send him flowers or something," March said.
She said she learned of the rescue about 10 p.m. Thursday after returning home from being fitted for a bridesmaid dress for an upcoming wedding.
March said Tinkerbell bounced off the blanket and ran. She said she heard Tinkerbell scratching at her trailer door about midnight.
Other than being hungry, Tinkerbell was fine.
March said her little girls, Nikita, 4, and Jaden, 3, were happy to see that Tinkerbell had returned.
"They were hugging her. She slept in their bed like she always does," March said.
