This is the incredible moment two arborists navigate their way to the top of a tree canopy to rescue a stranded cat.
Footage shows brothers-in-law Shaun Sears and Tom Otto, who operate the non- profit organisation Canopy Cat Rescue, scaling the towering tree in Washington to help the feline.
The daring duo, who work on a donations-only basis, estimate that they have rescued more than 2,000 cats since creating their service in 2009.
During the clip, Mr Otto hangs on his harness in a towering fir tree as he tries to move closer to the stranded black and white cat called Stanley.
