Kitten is enjoying new role as police department's first official 'pawifficer'

A rescue kitten has risen through the ranks at its local police department to become the force's first official ‘pawfficer’.

Donut was recruited by the Troy Police Department and now spends her days laying down the paw in the station’s feline unit.

The 14-week-old kitten was rescued from Michigan Humane Society and officially sworn into the force by judges Kirsten Nielsen Hartig and Maureen McGinnis on May 11.
