Most cat rescues cost from twenty-five to one hundred fifty dollars. It might cost more if the climber must travel long distances. The price might change if the cat is stranded up a dangerous dead tree.
Climbers consider dead trees as hazard duty and deserve the extra cost.
The cost might also increase during night climbs because climbing is more difficult when performed in the dark. Extreme weather conditions warrant hazard duty as well. They might include severe cold, thunder storms, rain, ice storms, or wind storms. Few climbers wish to risk their lives during inclement weather, and a hazard duty bonus might be the only way to get your cat down. The price will depend on how dangerous the rescue is, how bad the climber needs cash, how persuasive you are, and what the market will bear.
