Officer Housand responded to the scene and found one of the kittens unharmed. He radioed in for animal control to assist with the call, but unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, they were busy at the time.
While the officer waited for animal control, he started bonding with a kitten and fell in love. He decided to adopt the kitten and make it part of his own family.
