Man saves cat found hanging from dam

STEVENS POINT (WKOW) -- A man near Stevens Point saved a cat he found hanging from the end of a rope that was tied to a dam.

Gino Bulek used a fishing net to rescue the animal, and upon seeing it up close realized someone had actually tied a noose around the cat's neck to hang it.

"I saw the animal and I knew I couldn't leave it there. It looked like it was close to death. 
After all he had been through I couldn't just let him stay at the Humane Society.  I felt like I had a bond with him since I had saved him."

The cat used up one of his nine lives and survived.

Gino took him home and named him Lucky.
