Cat keeps nine lives after hydro pole rescue [Video]

A Manitoba Hydro employee’s quick actions saved a cat from a potentially deadly situation.

Friday morning Alyshia Eleuterio told CTV News she saw a post on the Winnipeg Missing and Found Cat Watch Facebook group about a cat stuck on a hydro pole directly next to high voltage lines.

“I was able to connect with our dispatching team who was able to get a crew out there quickly to rescue her down,” she wrote in an email.

Eleuterio said the cat is safe and is now with a local animal rescue to hopefully reunite the cat with its owner or possibly rehome the feline.

“Considering all the cruelty towards innocent cats lately, I thought this would be a great way to spread a little joy and happiness and to remind everyone about humanity,” she said.

CTV News has asked Manitoba Hydro about the rescue and is waiting to hear back.
