美国德州帕萨迪纳警方日前在脸书上公布一段温馨影片，一名警察高尔文深夜执勤开车行经高架桥时，听到路边传来小猫的哀叫声，于是他赶紧调头并下车寻找声音来源，花费了一番功夫才将受困在排水孔的小猫救出，超有爱的救援过程全被警车的行车记录器拍下，也在网路上获得不少回响。
帕萨迪纳（Pasadena）警方表示，在大多数人都在睡觉的时候，员警高尔文（Galvan）正在进行一场小小救援行动，日前深夜值勤行经高架桥时，突然听见路边传来猫咪的哀叫声，接着眼角余光捕捉到小猫眼睛的反光，于是赶紧调头并下车寻找声音来源。

高尔文搜索了一下，果然在一个排水孔中发现卡住的小猫，于是开始试图引诱小猫走向自己，好伸手将牠抓出洞外，但却遭吓坏的小家伙抓咬了好几下，高尔文仍耐心地不断出声安抚，最后终于成功将牠救出。
被带回警车的小猫平静下来之后，乖乖地趴着睡觉，看起来似乎真的累坏了，随后就被高尔文送往附近的动物收容所安置。警方事后还跑去收容所探望获救的小猫，发现牠已经恢复元气才放下心中的大石头。这段有爱的救援影片曝光之后，在网路获得不少网友回响。
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING WEDNESDAY:Did you know that while most of us were sleeping, Officer Galvan conducted a harrowing rescue on top of Beltway 8?! AND…it was all caught on video!!Officer Galvan was at the Exxon at Red Bluff and Beltway when he heard what sounded like a kitten crying. The crying sounded like it was coming from the Beltway. After shining his light up on the overpass, he could see the kitten's eyes reflecting back. The kitten was stuck on the Beltway 8 overpass over Red Bluff and could not get down.The angle was too steep for Officer Galvan to walk up to the kitten, so he had to drive to 225 and U-turn back onto Beltway 8 and back to the Red Bluff overpass. After searching for a bit, he located the kitten wedged in between the drain openings at the bottom of the barriers. He could see the back of the kitten sticking out on the other side of the barrier and reached over in attempts to grab it. Apparently this kitten was NOT in the mood to be rescued and began scratching and biting Officer Galvan. As a result, Officer Galvan lost his grip and the kitten fell back onto the Beltway and ran back under the barrier. Determined to rescue the kitten, Officer Galvan regrouped, licked his wounds, grabbed his gloves and lock out device and made a second successful attempt. After calming the kitten down, and making sure it received plenty of water, Officer Galvan took the kitten to the caring arms of the Pasadena Animal Shelter.All in a day’s work for our night shift officers.

I got the chance to do a follow up visit with "Kitty Galvan" today. The kitten Officer Galvan rescued from atop Beltway 8, is doing very well and has a playmate.
