"I was really scared," McIntosh told KAIT 8. "I thought she was dead."
On March 13, Sparkles climbed the tree, where she would remain for the next 18 days. Despite McIntosh's repeated attempts to coax her down with a can of food, she wouldn't budge.
"Everyone came up and got on that ladder to get her and she just would run farther and farther away," McIntosh said.
Desperate, McIntosh contacted several local organizations for help, but, she said, they told her that if she kept putting food out, Sparkles would come down on her own eventually.
