Kitten Seen Dodging Traffic Rescued By Aberdeen Police Officer

ABERDEEN, MD — Police Officer Buettner was on patrol early Tuesday morning when he spied a tiny dark gray kitten using the crosswalk of a very busy West Bel Air Street, narrowing dodging cars.

The officer snapped into action and scooped up the kitten, sparing her from any harm. He did, however, sustain a few injuries, a.k.a. some minor kitten scratches, the police department reported.

Buettner took the kitten to see a veterinary who gave her a full check-up. She's now up to date on all her shots and is in the process of being fostered to find her forever family.

"We’re happy to report she’s doing great," the Aberdeen Police Department stated on Facebook. "Thank you, Officer Buettner, for going above and beyond — and proving once again that our officers protect all members of our community, big and small."
