"When they looked a little closer, this wasn't just any cat, but a California Mountain Lion," police wrote on social media.
Officials with the Orange County Fire Authority responded to the home in the area of Irvine Boulevard and Holt Avenue to assist the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in removing the young male mountain lion from that tree.The mountain lion was tranquilized and removed from the tree, then provided care by Fish and Game biologists, according to the OC Fire Authority. The cat was then sent to a processing center and then back into the wild in the Cleveland National Forest.
