In a heartwarming Father’s Day tale, a police sergeant from Lakeland, Florida, welcomed a fluffy gray kitten into his family. The adorable little feline was discovered on Saturday evening by Officer Cardin of the Lakeland Police Department, huddled at the base of a lamppost.
Officer Cardin immediately scooped up the lost kitten and brought her back to the police station. He created a comfortable spot for her with towels and a cardboard box, ensuring her safety by placing her in the station’s kennel.
Since it was still early in Officer Cardin’s shift, he had to resume his duties, but the kitten didn’t have to spend the night alone. Sergeant Wallace, another officer on duty that evening, noticed the tiny bundle of fur and decided to keep her company throughout his shift. As expected, the irresistibly cuddly kitten quickly captured Sgt. Wallace’s heart.
By the time Father’s Day morning arrived, the little feline had a new name—Kelsey—and a brand new daddy to celebrate her first Father’s Day with. According to the Lakeland PD Facebook page, Kelsey has seamlessly adapted to her role as Sgt. Wallace’s partner, even though she dozed off during her first night on the job!
While Kelsey may not be the best police officer, she is sure to excel as a loving companion in her forever home. Congratulations to Sergeant Wallace on his “new addition,” and a heartfelt thank you to Officer Cardin for rescuing the sweet and adorable Kelsey!
