Informant: I was looking at the roof the other day from my building and there was a cat (on the rooftop)
A cat stranded on the rooftop
of a 20 story apartment for a week
We went up to the roof to see the cat in close proximity
But...
We couldn't find him anywhere
After a while
Crew: Over there!
Finally he appeared again!
Sunbathing carelessly
on the snow-covered rooftop of a 20 story high apartment
Cat: What are ya lookin' at
Perhaps he sensed attention
He quickly hides, running dangerously to the other side of the rooftop
Sensing the urgency, we rushed to the rooftop where he was seen but...
The cat was to be found nowhere
Only paw prints remained stamped clearly on snow
Where could he possibly have gone?
With the experts
equipped with safety cables
looking thoroughly yet cautiously throughout the rooftop
where the cat was last spotted
and at that moment!
A place that wasn't visible looking from below the building!
There, where we entered with help from the maintenance office
Crew: Aren't these claw scratches?
He is...
definitely inside this place..!
From the roof to every corner of the machine room
After setting up tuna that will lure him
and a camera
We waited patiently distant from the setup
Cat: Is everybody out?
He appears again from a tiny corner under the machine
Perhaps he was hungry, gobbling down the food...
As soon as he finishes the entire plate of tuna
Climbs over the machine room window as expected
walks across the rooftop freely
and gobbles down another plate of tuna...★
How did he end up stuck in this place?
Crew: Have you done any inspections within the last 15 days?
Head of Management from Management Office: No, we haven't. The most recent inspection was back in November when we cleaned the water tank
Since the machine room was locked since a month ago
it wouldn't have been possible for the cat to have entered by climbing the stairs
Could there be any possibilities of him getting in climbing up the long drainpipe..?
Head of Management from Management Office: Even if he went inside the drainpipe, he wouldn't have been able to climb up. The pipe (slippery) is vertically straight
It would also be impossible to just climb on it
We were still completely clueless of
how he ended up here...
But
Regardless of any circumstances
We cannot leave him stranded
in such a dangerous place!
Vet: If too many people rush so suddenly, he will probably get intimidated and will try to hide into his corner again
It's best for a few people to set up a cage and rescue him quietly
Inside the machine room
even when he seems to be relaxed and care-free
Cat: I have my eyes on you
He hides instantaneously as soon as he senses something
So, we decided to rescue him with only as few people as possible!
See you in a bit!
After a while
He appears again
After searching around the cage cautiously
for a while
once he is relieved, he goes right into the cage toward the food..!
Even when the cage closes
he eats as if nothing happened lolol
Was it only the food that mattered?
Only after he finishes a plateful of tuna
he realizes he's been locked up
Cat: Hello? Anybody there?
Cat: Open up pwease!!!
Are you gonna keep being so silly and cute lolol
As soon as he arrives at the hospital
only after fooling and roaming around the doctor's office
the medical examination began
We hope he's not hurt anywhere from being stranded on the rooftop
Vet, is our cat okay?
Vet: We examined him thoroughly and he doesn't seem to have any disease
I think he'll be okay, he has a good personality
So I think he just needs to meet a good owner
Until he meets a warm-hearted owner who can take good care of him
he will be staying here at the shelter
Let's forget the life-risking rooftop life and
meet a good family and be happier and safe!
