"When he got there, he found pedestrians gathered around a food truck. There was a group of 20 people surrounding a food truck, a big food truck, and we go up to the crowd and they say, there's a cat stuck underneath the vehicle, Squillante recalled. I'm laying underneath the truck, we don't see anything. We're asking if anybody here owns the cat."
"I put my hand into the wheel well, and I feel the cat lick my hand. And then that's when I grab him and I pull him out. And he was all shaken up, Squillante said. I thought he was going to get away when I grabbed him, but he calmed down. Squillante carried the bundle of fluff in his arms back to the precinct. he said he instantly fell in love with it."
Police Officer Frank Squillante of the Midtown North Precinct responded to multiple 911 calls about an animal reportedly struck on East 58th Street and Madison Avenue just after 8 p.m. on Oct. 9. He found roughly 20 people gathered around a large food truck and heard a kitten meow from beneath the vehicle. Squillante reached into the wheel well, felt the kitten lick his hand, pulled the shaken animal out, carried the kitten back to the precinct, bonded with the animal, believed the kitten had crawled into the truck for shelter, and adopted the kitten.
