It depends on the situation. Often times a rescue is not required. With cats in trees, we strongly suggest opening a can of tuna (this usually works), leaving the immediate area and waiting for the cat to get down on its own.

We are called to assist the public with many different situations. But we typically do not rescue cats from trees. Often you can lure the cat down by placing some food below - when the cat gets hungry he will usually come down. If you need further assistance, contact... See similar questions...

The City of Sacramento is expected to grow by approximately 200,000 residents in the next 25 years. At the same time, the City is expected to add about 150,000 more jobs during this period of growth.

Generally, no. It is rare to find a cat skeleton in a tree. We recommend placing the pet’s food in an open container at the base of the tree and wait for it to come down. See similar questions...

Their claws are constructed for climbing up. When they attempt to climb down headfirst (and normally this is what they will try to do first), it's impossible for them because the claws are curved the wrong way. Eventually, a cat will figure out how to go down the correct way - shimmying down backward so that the claws will cling to the bark of the tree. See similar questions...

Topping creates many problems for trees including insect infestations and diseases, weak limbs, shock and starvation to the tree and poor aesthetic qualities.

mentioned above, the Colonial Schipperke Club is very active in finding homes for "pre-owned" Schipperkes. These are Schips who for reasons normally not of their making, have lost their people. They may be lost or stolen dogs, dogs who suffer from the deaths or divorces of their owners, or dogs who are given up for a variety of reasons by their original owners. Colonial members often provide foster care or brokering services to match up these dogs with new owners. See similar questions...

First of all, you will not be rescuing a Bearded Collie unless you are actually out visiting shelters or searching dog pounds. More likely you will be adopting from Bearded Collie Rescue or another organization that has rescued the dog in some manner (from kill shelters, abandoned, or even from people who advise they are taking the dog to a shelter and offering Rescue a chance to take it before they do).

When this question was posed to the 300+ KB-L subscribers, many good examples of Kerries, cats,and other species of critters co-habitation were given, while just a few thought that their Kerries would never tolerate a cat under any conditions. Kerries and cats would seem to be able to co-exist in the same household and even become genuinely fond of each other with some guidelines. The carefully supervised initial introduction is most important. See similar questions...

To be sure that your trees arrive in a strong and healthy condition, we ship bare root stock only when it is dormant in the fall and spring seasons. Trees are sent according to your local climate and this year's weather. Fall Shipping: We have to wait for a couple of hard frosts so the trees go dormant and can be shipped safely. Trees can be planted until the ground is frozen solid. Fall shipments are made between October 15 and December 10. See similar questions...

Lodgepole pine and Douglasfir trees are planted in national forests, in areas destroyed by fire, disease or insects. These trees will help reestablish vital habitat for grizzly bears, bald eagles, and timber wolves, and will contribute to a better environment for everyone. See similar questions...

We have four cats now. If you have read my memoir, SLEEPING WITH CATS, you will notice that we have only two of those cats with us now. Dinah, my elderly Korat, died some years ago. We still have Malkah, an orange tabby from a shelter, who is very large for a female and the matriarch of the tribe. Next comes Efi, who is a chocolate point Siamese, very playful and jealous of her prerogatives. She believes Malkah is her mother; Malkah believes Efi is her daughter. See similar questions...

It is not essential for a breeder to show their own cats however I personally would recommend you buy a kitten from a breeder who has been involved with showing and shows their own cats. If a breeder shows cats then they are constantly seeing other Siamese of great type that conform to the breed standard and it means that the breeder will know the quality of their own cats and will know how to breed to improve the quality and type.
