TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — New body camera video released this week shows an Alachua police officer rescuing a kitten in the middle of a Florida roadway.

The kitten was lying in the roadway while cars passed within feet of the poor animal.

Officer Stanfield stopped to rescue the kitten with the help of a Mi Apa Latin Cafe driver who used their truck to stop traffic.

The police department said the kitten was successfully rescued and now has a new home with one of the department’s dispatchers.
