SILVERADO CANYON (CBSLA.com) — A 51-year-old Orange County woman, who needed to be rescued while trying to rescue her kitten Monday morning, said she has learned a lesson. Sara Beebe tried to climb up a 50-foot slope behind her Silverado Canyon home in the 14900 block of Kitterman Drive to get her adopted black cat down at about 8 a.m. When she tried to come down, she slid, injured her ankle and scraped her arms and legs. An urban search and rescue firefighter helped the woman on the hill while the Orange County Fire Authority helicopter lowered a safety harness.

– A 51-year-old California woman who climbed up a steep slope behind her house to rescue one of her cats ended up needing to be airlifted off the cliff, CBS Los Angeles reports. The cat, meanwhile, made it down safely on its own. While attempting to retrieve the cat yesterday, Sara Beebe slid about 50 feet and twisted her ankle, according to the Orange County Register. Too hurt to climb the rest of the way down, Beebe started yelling for help, and eventually a neighbor called 911. Firefighters used a helicopter to airlift Beebe to safety, and she appeared to have learned her lesson. "I am going to have to start letting the cat be a little more independent," Beebe tells CBS.
