Reading police won't help because they don't have an animal control department. The funds and the van they used for AC are now used for the parking department. I was told this by a Reading police officer after called about a stray dog. We are the only town in the area without an ACO.

The Animal Rescue League of Boston provides rescue services. Their number is
617-426-9170.

quick update: he is still up there in the rain but I talked to the Animal Rescue League in Boston. They have a few other cats in trees to rescue first but they were very nice and helpful. Ihope that they can stop by today. I also reached a professional tree climber who would be willing to climb up and rescue Louis. But because of the rain, it is too slippery today. Thank you for your calls and ideas. It is great to live in such a helpful community. I will let you know when Louis is back home!

Did anyone ever see a cat skeleton in a tree?
