Nada

When a tiny kitten mysteriously appeared in the storage building in the backyard of their home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Marlee and Brian were puzzled. No owner could be found, so they adopted the kitten into their home where she settled in quite nicely with their dogs. Nada is about seven months old now, and she got stuck for one night in a tree on the other side of the canal that borders their backyard. I could not approach the tree without wading through the water in the canal, and the tree was bordered on two sides by electrical power lines. I am very grateful for the nice and accommodating backyard neighbor who allowed me to approach the tree from her backyard, because I'm not sure I could have found a way to climb the tree otherwise. Nada was worried about me, but she didn't want to climb any higher. She let me get close and touch her, but she still had reservations about me. She was in an awkward spot to reach, so when I started working my way closer to her, I could see she was starting to get more nervous and thinking about climbing higher. I had to stop that, so I grabbed her by the scruff and bagged her before she had a chance to get away and make this rescue extremely difficult. After she got back home and safely settled in again, this cutie took a long nap to recover from her stressful adventure.
