Cat Miraculously Survives 50-Foot Fall From Building

Ivy the cat survived a 50-foot fall with only a dislocated jaw, prompting vets to urge pet owners to secure balconies in high-rise buildings.

  • Ivy, a four-year-old cat, fell approximately 50ft from a fifth-floor balcony at a modern Sheffield flat on June 23 and survived.
  • The fall occurred after Ivy squeezed through a small gap in an open balcony door left ajar during a recent heatwave to cool the flat.
  • Emily Redfern, Ivy's 26-year-old owner and marketing executive, found Ivy alive in the communal courtyard and took her to emergency vets for treatment.
  • X-Rays revealed Ivy had a dislocated jaw but no other injuries; vets repositioned the jaw, taped her face, and fitted a feeding tube for recovery.
  • Ivy is now nearly fully recovered thanks to a strong vet team effort and Emily’s dedicated care, who also installed netting to prevent future accidents.
