She’s tried calling the cat down and leaving food out, but nothing’s working.

Marra said she called the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, Animal Care and Protective Services and 630-CITY with no results.

“They all sent me back to the city and all they could say is, ‘You need to hire somebody who works on trees,’ or something like that. Okay, lovely, I can’t afford that,” Marra said.
