Animal Control is asking if you know Top Cat.
Top Cat, as he is known to Needham officials, was rescued by Animal Control today from a rooftop in Needham Heights.
A resident reported that the cat had been on the roof of a house for three days without food or water. Afraid and hungry, Top Cat decided to camp out and wait for help that eventually came in the form of Needham Animal Control.
A ramp was constructed and Top Cat came right down before being brought to the local Animal Hospital to be vet checked.
