saves tracy kibble staff reporter a whitchurchstouffville youth didnt lose that lovin feline instead he saved one of the furry ariimals nine lives in a recent res cue effort dayle lewis 17 of millard street is now deemed the cat savior by friends and local resi- dents after spending nearly two hours straddled up a tree in the stouffville town park coaxing down the scared and hungry cat the feline although having a birdseye view from above had been trapped up a 35foot maple tree in the stouffville park for more than four days say neigh bors arid passersby the youth said he and several friends were sitting in a car about 4 pm wednesday may 30 at the park when one of them said there had been a cat stuck up the tree crying for about four days possi bly since the saturday before dayle suggested they try to save the feline and then bravely pro ceeded to climb the massive trunk while the others watched from below i had to straddle most of the way up because there were no branches when i got up there fur ther i saw the cat was stuck arid afraid of this one steep spot dayle said after about one hour the teen gained the cats confidence and he began petting it gently it took a while for it to come over to me and once it was close enough i had to grab it by the scruff of the neck and pull it down branch by branch dayle recalls he said the cat really wanted to come down but was too afraid to move any further down the tree meanwhile rose fockler whose house is situated on main street directly in front of the large tree had heard the cat meowing for days she said she had called the whitchurchstouffville fire department to report the stranded animal two days earlier the fire department would not come they said they couldnt in case a fire call came in mrs fockler said she also said she called the ontario humane society but nobody from there showed up either when she noticed the youth up the tree it seemed he was up there for hours she ran out of her house with an igloo cooler and suggested they put the cat inside it to lower it down the rest of the way this seemed like a good idea to dayle because at this point the frantic cat was clinging onto my back and sticking its claws into the tree he said we couldnt just drop the cat down because it was a 16foot drop from where i had the cat in my arms dayle said finally after 112 hours of coaxing the feline to come down the youth with the help of his friends trapped the cat in the cool er and lowered it down with rope i thought it was really good and kind of him how many other teenage boys would even bother
