West Haven (WTNH) - A West Haven cat remains stuck in a precarious place.

Tigger has been stuck high-up in a tree on Canton Street. His owner, Chris Green, told News Channel 8 the cat climbed up there on his own this past weekend and is now too scared to come down.

The cat is clinging to one of the huge tree's thinner branches, around 100 feet up, and all the while he's crying out, apparently frightened.

"I've been trying to shake food, get up on a ladder," said Green. "I called police, fire, the humane society. They said it got up, it will come down."

Tigger has already endured rain, wind and cold. Green is hoping that a tree service might come out to help.

One expert told Green the cat could be up there for as long as two weeks.
