Hats off to.these gardai for caring for this innocent stray.
In the hat??, could it possibly belong to Dr. Seuss.
beautiful little creature
I’d take him in a second if I lived in Cork. Or Ireland for that matter. Poor little mite.
they’ll need a new car as well if that thing pee’d in it
We can all afford to pay for it if this is the kind of message we get from community policing.
Great save lads. Thank you.
Whats the message Paul? Gardai have too little to be doing? or pet owners have no need to neuter their pets because the Gardai will pick up the slack? I also find it interesting when loose horses on the roads are reported to Gardai there is “nothing they can do” . Incredible that crap like this is applauded.
I think this article acknowledges that there is PR value in these stories – which is why they happen.
On a morale level it boosts public faith in our cops as humans, and also for the Gardaí themselves who benefit from goodwill.
I also live near Blarney.
I’m an awkward customer, horrified when the Gardaí fail, but delighted when they do well.
I like it when they show humanity in uniform.
Also….
I’m delighted to know that the kitten won’t be stuck in my car – or under it. Some customers in Blairs Inn (my local) were trying to get a cat out of an engine using jugs of water. Could be this one.
They had driven from Wexford and discovered they had a passenger when they parked up for dinner.
Jenny. ..You obviously dislike cats but I would not imaging you would be the kind of person who would get joy from their pain
Need a cuddle there Jenny?
@Jenny, I saw the Gardai herding a loose cow on the road yesterday after the cow had broken out of the field and was wandering
Wondering about what?
Jenny don’t be hasty…
People can be awful… and sometimes in their humour in news stories…
