Two officers in the state of Texas were completing their reports on a shoplifting incident when a bystander caught their attention.
The individual asked the officers for help rescuing two cats that appeared to be stuck underneath a vehicle in the parking lot.
The officer’s rushed to the car and began to inspect the curious noises.
The officers determined that the kittens were stuck inside the bumper of the car. The mother most likely placed her kittens in this hiding place for safety and warmth.
The owner of the vehicle claimed to not own a cat. The individual didn’t know how the kittens would have gotten into her car’s bumper.
