Her name is Bella ❤️️

A police officer who found himself on an urgent rescue mission just before Christmas is now finding his home a little fuller in the new year.

Officer Jason Smith, of the North Kansas City Police Department, was driving in his squad car down the left lane of I-29 when he saw a ball of fur stuck on the barrier wall that split the multilane highway.



Radioing for help with traffic control, Officer Smith pulled over in the far left median and got out of his car.

"Here kitty kitty kitty," he can be heard saying as he approaches the scared little kitten. And as Officer Smith scoops up the ball of fur in his hands, the kitten's high-pitched and pointed meow can be heard answering Smith's calls.

After Officer Smith brought the kitten to a local shelter for a checkup, she spent a few days there to make sure no one claimed her as theirs.

Then, Officer Smith went back to the shelter — and adopted her.
