While relaxing at their Albemarle home on Wednesday, Liance and Zelna van Zyl realised their cat was missing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter looking for Tiger for hours, they heard him crying from high up in a tree in the neighbour\u2019s yard,\u201d explained Estelle van Zyl.<\/p>
\u201cThey realised the cat was too high up in the tree and there was no way they could get up that high to rescue him, so they decided to phone the fire department.\u201d<\/p>\n
Estelle commended the staff from the Germiston Fire Station for their service.<\/p>
\u201cEverybody was so helpful and friendly, starting from the woman who answered the call, trying to calm the children down to get directions from them, to the staff who attended the call,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
When Liance and Zelna saw the fire truck coming down the road they began crying in relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cA huge thank you goes to the four members of the Germiston Fire Department for rescuing our Tiger.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy children are huge animal lovers and really would do anything for their animals,\u201d Estelle said.<\/p>\n
