(HEARST, ON) � A routine foot patrol in downtown Hearst turned into an unexpected rescue mission when officers were flagged down about a cat stranded on a rooftop, under attack from ravens.

On February 26, 2025, at approximately 1:30 p.m., James Bay Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers were conducting foot patrol in the downtown core when a concerned resident alerted them to a distressed cat on a high roof on Edward Street. A crowd quickly gathered as the cat, audibly in distress, attempted to avoid swooping ravens.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the OPP coordinated with the Town of Hearst, whose municipal workers responded swiftly with a bucket truck. They raised the bucket to the peak of the roof, where the frightened cat wasted no time jumping to safety.

A new recruit OPP officer started her first shift in Hearst today, an unforgettable way to begin her career, seeing firsthand the strong partnership between police and the community. The James Bay OPP would like to thank the Town of Hearst staff and residents for their quick action and support.
