Professional Cat Rescue From Trees
A cat stuck up a tree is stressful for everyone — and most fire services no longer attend these call-outs unless there's a risk to human life. That's where we come in. Clearcut Tree Surgery's NPTC-qualified climbers use the same rope-and-harness techniques we use on every tree surgery job, so in almost every case your cat can be reached and brought down safely with no need to cut branches or fell the tree.
We cover Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown and the wider Dorset and Hampshire area, and we prioritise cat rescue calls — most owners have their cat back on the ground the same day.
Every climber is NPTC certified and we carry £5 million public liability insurance, so you can trust the person up the tree next to your cat knows exactly what they're doing. Call 01202 022560 and we'll talk you through it.
NPTC Qualified ClimbersThe same certified climbers who carry out our tree surgery work — trained, insured and comfortable working at height.
£5M Public LiabilityFully insured for peace of mind, whether the tree is in your garden or a neighbour's.

Worried Owners
Your own cat stuck and too scared to come down. We come to your home, garden or driveway across Bournemouth and Dorset.

Letting & Estate Agents
A tenant's or neighbour's cat stuck in a tree on a managed property — we respond quickly and keep it professional.

Councils & Housing Associations
Cats stuck in trees on public land or communal grounds — we can attend under existing maintenance arrangements.
Anyone Who's Tried Everything Else
Left food out overnight, tried a ladder, called the fire brigade and been told no? We're usually the next call — and often the last one you'll need.
Simple Process
How It Works
Calm, quick and straightforward — from your first call to your cat being back on solid ground.

02
We Assess & Climb
Our climber assesses the tree and the safest route up, then climbs using rope and harness techniques — the same skills we use for everyday tree surgery, so no cutting is normally needed.

Why choose Clearcut
Qualified
Climbers.
Calm Rescues.
Rescuing a cat from height isn't just about being brave enough to climb — it's about doing it safely, for the cat, the tree and everyone underneath. That's exactly what our NPTC-qualified arborists are trained for.
01
Properly qualified, not improvised
Our climbers hold NPTC certificates for climbing and are used to working safely at height every single day — this isn't a ladder and a hope.
02
The tree is respected too
We use rope and harness techniques rather than cutting a route through, so in almost every rescue the tree is left completely untouched.
03
Honest pricing, no surprises
We give you a clear price over the phone before anyone attends, based on height and access — no inflated "emergency" call-out fees.
04
We prioritise these calls
We know every hour matters when a pet is stuck and frightened, so cat rescue calls jump the queue where we can manage it.

Questions
Anything not covered here? Call 01202 022560 and we'll answer any questions about your cat, the tree, or what to expect before we arrive.
Almost never. Our climbers use the same rope and harness techniques we use for tree surgery, so we can move through the canopy without cutting branches. The tree is left exactly as it was found in the vast majority of rescues.
It depends on the height of the cat, the tree species and how accessible the site is. Call 01202 022560 and we'll give you an honest, upfront price over the phone before anyone attends.
We prioritise cat rescue calls and aim to reach you the same day across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown and the surrounding Dorset and Hampshire area, often within a few hours.
This is common — cats often climb higher when they feel cornered. Our climbers are trained to approach slowly and calmly, and carry secure carriers to bring your cat down safely once contact is made.
Yes. While cats are the most common call-out, we've also helped recover dogs that have become stuck on ledges, and birds of prey and other animals for local rescue charities.
Most UK fire services no longer attend cat-in-tree call-outs unless there's a risk to human life, as it isn't classed as an emergency. That's why owners across Bournemouth and Dorset call qualified tree climbers like us instead.
