After two police officers in Texa were finished dealing with a shoplifting call at a local TJ Maxx store, they suddenly met two tiny kittens who needed to help. The poor kitties were stuck under a car in the store’s parking lot.

When the officers stepped out of the store, they heard tiny meows coming from somewhere underneath the car. They quickly figured out exactly where the kittens were. Joe Bob Adkins, one of the officers, carefully reached under the car and gently removed the tiny kittens (around 6 weeks old).

“They located the kittens inside the bumper where most likely the mother cat had placed them for some reason,” Jesse Minton, of the Arlington Police Department, told The Dodo. “The owner of the car advised that she did not own a cat and had no idea how the kittens got in there.”

As soon as the kittens were safe, Officer Adkins took them back to the police car, trying to make them feel safe and loved. The more time they spent with their new friend, Officer Adkins, the more the tiny kittens fell in love with him. They even couldn’t stop cuddling with him and curled up on his chest in the sweetest way.

The officers immediately took the kittens to a vet to check them out, and luckily, they were in fairly good condition. The kittens were hungry because they’d been under the car for a long time. Therefore, the officers fed them some formula out of a tiny bottle, and they were so happy.

The two kittens are now settled into their new home with Officer Adkins and are adapting very well. At first, Adkins didn’t have a plan on taking home two new family members that day, but as soon as they cuddled up to him, he couldn’t resist. He decided to adopt them into his family and give them the new names ‘TJ’ and ‘Max’.
