Fortunately, there are good people in the world who are prepared to stand up and provide these animals the love they deserve, despite the appalling cruelty some humans can inflict on them.
That was the case recently, when one officer realized that fate had brought them together after responding to a case involving a cat that had been tossed from a car.
A citizen in Harrisonburg, Virginia, reported seeing a cat thrown from a car, according to WHSV. They couldn’t keep the cat themselves, so they took the miserable kitten home to bathe it.
In response, Harrisonburg Police Department Officer Timothy Rugg agreed to pick up the cat and take it to the local SPCA. But the cat soon grew connected to her new human companion, scuttling up to cuddle on his neck.
“She was concealed beneath a couch,” Officer Rugg informed WHSV. I grabbed her by reaching underneath. She climbed up on my shoulder right away, perched like a parrot, and began purring.
When they got to the SPCA, the kitten wouldn’t leave the officer’s side, and Rugg found the facility was almost full, according to the police department. Rugg recognized it as an indication that they were destined to be together.
He told WHSV, “I just thought she wanted to be with me.” “I thought I was a dog person, but we clicked right away, and I knew I had to bring her along.”
Officer Rugg took the kitten, who was now named Charlie, home after completing a foster application. Now, both of them bring out the best in one another.
When I first received her, she was really afraid, but now she’s really active. Charlie “makes his day better” and helps him unwind, Officer Rugg added, adding, “I’m having to arrange my entire apartment just to make it safe for curious Penny.”
According to the Harrisonburg Police Department, “Officer Rugg and Charlie are now a bona fide crime fighting duo.” “Charlie’s favorite jobs are being cute, power napping, and spying from Officer Rugg’s shoulder.”
“We appreciate all of our officers and their willingness to respond to all calls, every day, and adjust to all kinds of situations—even those involving fluffy, whiskered people.”
Charlie was thrown out of a car, which is tragic, but we’re so happy that everything turned out okay and that he found the ideal new home! Undoubtedly, it was meant to be .
