CAT RETRIEVER: This peculiar-looking apparatus is a unique piece of equipment variously called a cat rescue pole, or "cat retriever." A stray or marooned cat lodged in some tree needs only to cling to the sheepskin loop at the end of the pole to effect a safe rescue from the upper regions. Students at Angell School are actively participating in the Ann Arbor Humane Society's current drive to raise funds for equipment, such as the cat pole, to outfit the proposed new animal shelter. Students shown (left to right) are Gale L. Slater, 9, of 1232 Washtenaw Ave., Phillis A. Austin, 8, of 1317 Geddes Ave., Rollie Leeds, 6, of 1438 Washington Hgts., and Randy White, 6, of 2409 Vinewood Blvd.

Wet, frightened, and 18 feet off the ground, this cat's meowings were heard yesterday afternoon by a Third St. passerby, who called the Washtenaw County Humane Society. Herbert Gay, humane officer, made the rescue. Owners of the freed feline collected him an hour later from the society's shelter.
