Medford Kitten Given a New Lease on Life


Medford kitten is rescued | Suffolk County Police Department

Suffolk County Police Officers (SCPD) are always at the ready. Whether it be crime, public safety, or rescuing ducklings and kittens, you can count on SCPD officers to lend a hand and make things right.

From a storm drain to a house, a Medford kitten is moving on up in the world, thanks to a couple of Suffolk County Police officers.A resident heard a cat crying in distress in a storm drain on Jordan Drive and called 911 on July 6 at approximately 2:45 p.m. Officers from the Emergency Service Section responded and were able to safely remove the kitten from the drain.

SCPD said, “While our officers opened the grate, a local resident opened their heart and took the little feline in. Thanks to everyone involved, the kitty is on its way to a great life.”

SCPD has already rescued several sets of ducklings so far this season.
