🐈“PURR-SUIT” RESCUE: RECOVERY OF TINY STOWAWAYS IN PATROL VEHICLE

Over the weekend, Yakima Police Officer Peckham and Officer Rosales pounced into action when they heard kitten cries of distress coming from the undercarriage of a Yakima Police patrol vehicle. The vehicle was out of service for maintenance and an entire litter of kittens was born in a void of the undercarriage. The kitten rescue took quite some time and one little guy refused to come out. Thanks to our neighbors at the S. 1st Street Jiffy Lube for coming to our assistance with getting the last little one out. All the kittens have been placed with the Underground Community Cat Rescue.

Underground Community Cat Rescue is simply the best! I hope people can donate to help with their supply and vet bill costs. They really need the help and 100% of the donations go strictly for the animals they help. I adopted a spectacular little kitty from them a couple years ago.

Cat distribution at work. Paw patrol they got themselves some paw patrol kitties.🥰

Aww! Thank you for saving them! They need police themed names. 😆

Awesome work everyone, YPD, JIFFY LUBE, UNDERGROUND COMMUNITY CAT RESCUE, maybe someone has a live trap to catch mom and get her TNR?

Are they still up for adoption? I’m interested

What about the mom?

Where can I pick one up

Thank you for saving them! Any sign of the mama?

Oh no hope mama is ok somewhere, might wanna watch and see if she comes back looking for her babies 💕

They look like they are not new born kittens. I hope they are placed in loving homes.

CSO WEEKLY - PARKING FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION

The City of Yakima garbage collection staff have run into an issue with collecting garbage where street parking is preventing them from accessing the roadway.

Be sure to park in the direction of traffic on the side of the road you are on within 12 inches of the curb whether you park on a straight road or in a cul-de-sac. This is the only legal way to park a vehicle on the city street unless angled parking is marked with stalls on the pavement. ... See MoreSee Less

I think there’s way too many cars parked along some of these streets that don’t even run. Example, 9th Ave. between Nob hill and Tieton. Sometimes can only get 1 vehicle thru on the road. I’m sure the large garbage truck would have difficulty. Need to have those vehicles towed away if they don’t run.

Sheer common sense and respect are apparently a thing of the past.

Yes people need to park correct. Also the city are the ones who made us pull them from the alleys.

***UPDATE: Juan has been located. Thank you to all who shared the post. ***
