A South Carolina police officer has become anInternet sensation for rescuing an adorable kittenthat he now takes on patrol with him.

美国南卡罗来纳州的一名警官因救助了一只可爱的小猫并带它一起巡逻而成为网红。

Cody Garrett, 28, of Spartanburg, offered to take thetiny kitten home with him after another officer foundthe cat hiding under a trash dumpster to get out ofthe rain and brought her back to the policedepartment.

一名警官在垃圾车下面发现了躲雨的小猫咪后将其带回了警局，来自斯帕坦堡28岁的科迪·加勒特提出将这只小猫咪带回家照料。

He told ABC News that he decided to take it upon himself to nurse the kitten back to healthbecause he already had a rescue cat named Toothless at home who happens to be nursingthree kittens.

加勒特告诉美国广播公司新闻，他决定自己照料这只小猫、使其恢复健康，是因为他家已经有一只叫"无牙"的被救助的猫，而"无牙"碰巧正在哺育三只小猫。

When the kitten met her 'adopted mom' for the first time, she went to the bathroom—earningher the name Squirt.

当小猫咪第一次见到养母的时候，就跑去了卫生间，因此得名Squirt.

'That's one of the only reasons I brought her home instead of taking her to the HumaneSociety,' he said of Squirt. 'She needed a mom so it worked out.'

“这就是为什么我要将它带回家而不是把他送到动物保护协会，”他说。“Squirt需要一个妈妈，这样才能解决问题。”

Squirt is continuing to get stronger thanks to the support of her adoptive family, which includesher new mom, her siblings, and Cody's two dogs.

幸亏有寄养家庭的帮助，Squirt才得以茁壮成长，而这个寄养家庭除了它的养母和兄弟姐妹之外，还有科迪的两只狗狗。

Cody Garrett earned Internet fame after sharing a photo of a kitten perched on his shoulderwhile he was in his squad car. More than 1,300 people liked the photo, with people from allaround the world singing his praises.
