Sounds great Zach. Once the weather breaks, we will have to take her up on that offer.

I agree moss, the way this all worked out is a testament to the climbing community, and a positive demonstration of social media's potential as a tool for helping animals, and humans alike.
I registered here several months ago, but never visited the forums, hence I would not have known of Ralph's situation were it not for social media, and the climbing community (in this case particularly you moss).
I think a good response to someone in Zach's position would be to first direct them to www.catinatreerescue.com
Then to start asking eachother if we know of any climber's in the area of need, through the various tree climbing forums, and social network sites where treeclimbers gather.
