China: Family Rescues Cat Stranded Six Stories Up in Tree for Over a Day

This is the heartwarming moment that a Chinese family rescued a cat trapped high in a tree after it had been stranded for more than a day. On March 22, 2026, in Gongyi, Henan, the video captured a tense yet touching rescue as a small cat was found stuck at the top of a tree roughly six stories high. The cat had reportedly been trapped for an entire day and night, unable to climb down. In the footage, members of a local woman’s family worked together, using a homemade device assembled from an extendable pole to reach the frightened cat. As the pole was carefully maneuvered upward, the cat clung nervously to the branches, drawing concern from those watching below. After several careful attempts, the rescuers managed to secure the cat and guide it safely down, prompting relief and cheers. The video ended with the cat safely back on the ground, appearing unharmed as the family gathered around to check on it.
