After responding with a theft report at a nearby TJ Maxx store, two Texas police officers were called to assist with two little kittens who were stranded beneath a car in the business’s parking lot. The cops hurried over to the automobile in question out of concern for the kittens’ welfare and heard teeny meows coming from underneath the car.
According to Jesse Minton of the Arlington Police Department, “they found the kittens inside the bumper where most likely the mother cat had deposited them for whatever reason.” The car’s owner said she didn’t have a cat and didn’t know how the kittens got inside.
… and gently remove the tiny, confused kittens.
As soon as they were safe, Officer Adkins took the kittens back to the police car and just held them, trying to make them feel safe and loved, and the kittens simply couldn’t get enough of him. They absolutely adored cuddling with their new friend, and curled up on his chest in the sweetest way.
The cops were happy to learn that the kittens were in fair condition after having them examined by a veterinarian almost away. The physician concluded that the kittens were around 6 weeks old. Without knowing how long the kittens had been beneath the car, the police decided they must be hungry and fed them formula from a little bottle, falling more and more in love with them every second.
The more time they spent with their new friend Officer Adkins, the more the tiny kittens fell in love with him — so it didn’t take long for him to decide to officially adopt them into his family.
“He thinks he may name them ‘TJ’ and ‘Max,’” Minton said.
The two kittens are now settling wonderfully into their new home, and could not love their new dad more if they tried. He may not have been planning on taking home two new family members that day, but as soon as they cuddled up to him, he simply couldn’t resist.
