It was Federal Way police to the rescue when they got a call about a litter of week-old kittens that had been found in a dog house at a residence.

“Couldn’t find the mom anywhere. They ended up finding out that the mom had been hit by a car and was deceased,” Federal Way Police Commander, Kyle Buchanan, told ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Newsradio.

“And so we scooped up the cats and ended up taking them down to the Tacoma Humane Society,” he said.

Buchanan said it’s not a typical call, but they were happy to get involved.

“We’re always trying to help people out … we’re also here to help out every BEING that needs the help,” he added.

The four tiny kittens will stay at the until they’re ready to be adopted.
