Wallace said to The Dodo: I went to check on her when I got to the station shortly after Cardin had rescued her.

She was there, afraid and insecure. She hadn’t been outside for very long after the shift began, so I just couldn’t keep her out for another 10 hours just so animal control could remove her.

The cat was placed on Wallace’s lap while he worked at the desk, and although she was first a little frightened and uneasy, she eventually decided to sit down and looked to be extremely at ease with Wallace.

Even though the policeman had to depart on a patrol, he didn’t abandon his new acquaintance.
