This Policeman Comforts A Kitten Lost In The Police Station And Decides To Be His New Dad

Mike Cardin, a Lakeland police officer in Polk County, Florida, was working his night shift on Saturday night when he learned of a lovely cat that was utterly alone behind a light post near a major intersection. Cardin instantly scooped up the kitty and drove her to the station.

The cage was too big for her, so the officer put her in a cardboard box until animal control arrived to pick it up, but then Sergeant Brian Wallance took his turn.

Wallace decided to keep the station’s newest inhabitant company throughout his shift since, for some reason, he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her alone.

Wallace explained to The Dodo:

“I arrived at the station soon after Cardin had rescued her and went to check how she was doing. There she was, alone and terrified, and I simply couldn’t leave her in that box for maybe 10 more hours, only for animal control to take her away.”
