A cat was left "40ft" up in a tree all day as RSPCA confirm they can only intervene after 24 hours.
The owner of Solomon, a cat that was left in a tree all day in the Moreton area of Wirral, was shocked by a rule that means her cat was forced to sit there all day and, the last time the ECHO checked, is still there. The small black cat was found stuck in the tree on Thursday morning with the RSPCA confirming that they can only contact the fire service to rescue the cat after 24 hours.
This rule is due to the majority of cats managing to make their own way down, but as Solomon's owner points out, the cat has had to sit through a hot summers day with no food or water. The owner also managed to get a cherry picker to try and rescue him but he was too high up for the machine to reach.
