Heartwarming footage has emerged from the US of a man rescuing a cat from a tree. <br /><br />The video, captured in North Carolina, shows professional cat rescuer Patrick Brandt approaching the animal cautiously, as it looks ready to jump down. <br /><br />Thankfully, the cat remains patient and Brandt is able to approach it and stow it in a bag, before making his descent. <br /><br />"Casper was stuck in a majestic willow oak in Mebane, NC, for 8 days before I got the call to rescue him," Brandt wrote online.<br /><br />"Thankfully I got him down before the 3.5 hours of intense thunderstorms that hit our area 10 minutes after I got out of the tree," he continued. <br /><br />"The rescue required plenty of patience on my part since Casper was not interested in being friendly while in the tree."<br /><br />Brandt runs rescuemycat.org, where he also receives call outs for "birds, and other pets, expensive toys such as model airplanes, drones, rockets, helicopters, etc."
