Ivy the cat missing following Monday evening rescue attempt

A domestic shorthaired rescue cat named Ivy, who was perched in a tree in a Pond Mills neighbourhood for the past four days and had residents concerned for her welfare, is missing Monday evening following a rescue attempt.

A domestic shorthaired rescue cat named Ivy, who was perched in a tree in a Pond Mills neighbourhood for the past four days and had residents concerned for her welfare, is missing Monday evening following a rescue attempt.

After several attempts by the owner and concerned neighbours to have someone rescue the kitten, an arborist came with animal control just after 6 p.m. on Monday.

During the rescue attempt, the cat leapt from the tree, fell to the ground and ran off, before jumping over a fence in the area of Pond Mills Road and Commissioners Road East. 

Since the rescue attempt, owners and neighbours have been conducting a ground search.

At the time of publication, Ivy has not been located.

Ivy the cat first got stuck in a tree late last week, raising concerns among neighbours. 

“She ran out the house and the owner tried to chase after her, and that’s when she ran up this tree up here, and ever since Friday at 12 o’clock, and has been up there with no food or water and she hasn’t been able to come back down,” explained concerned neighbour Evelyna Thomson.
