"Bella" is a Sweetie

Executive Summary

Jo left a voicemail - her 5-month old kitty 'Bella' was chased up a tree by a neighbor's dog and had been stuck overnight in Flora, MS - could I help? I called back and arranged to be there later that day. I was met by Charles and Jo on arrival, who directed me to park using the neighbor's driveway as that was closer. Bella was 25 feet up a large oak tree next to a creek, and she was running back and forth on a large horizontal limb crying for help. I quickly set a rope above her and started climbing. Bella kept rubbing her head on the limb, looking down at me, and just excited that I was coming to get her. When I reached Bella's height, I pulled her into my lap for some snuggles before she went into the bag. Back on the ground, Charles and Jo took Bella inside the house. I joined them inside later, and Bella played with the string on my cat bag while we visited. Hopefully, the neighbor's dog will stay away in the future. Charles and Jo, many thanks for your extremely generous donation to the Oktibbeha County Humane Society!
