Suffolk County law enforcement is always at the ready for whatever issue comes up – and it’s not always a crime.
The Suffolk County Deputy Sheriff’s along with the Sheriff’s Office’s Emergency Management Section not only rescued a kitten trapped in a storm drain in Yaphank, but also found him a home.
At approximately 7:40 PM, during a routine patrol of the John J. Foley Building in Yaphank, a Deputy Sheriff heard a noise coming from a storm drain outside the building. Upon further investigation it was found to be a kitten trapped in a storm drain.
Deputy Sheriffs along with the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Section moved a dumpster covering the storm drain and pried the drain open to rescue the cat. The kitten was adopted by one of the Deputy Sheriffs involved in the rescue and has been named “Foley.”
Deputy Sheriff David Clary adopted the kitten and brought it home to his family. The Clary family and Foley the Cat are reported to be very happy with the whole arrangement.
