On Sunday, July 12, 2026, officers from the Maryland-National Capital Park Police PG Division responded after a citizen reported witnessing an individual attempt to throw a cat from a moving vehicle while crossing the Woodrow Wilson bridge.
Thanks to the quick report from the citizen and the swift compassionate response of the officer, the frightened kitten was safely rescued without injury and is now receiving the care it deserves.
We commend the citizen for speaking up and our officer for taking immediate action to protect a defenseless animal. Acts of animal cruelty are taken seriously, and we encourage anyone who witnesses abuse or neglect to report it immediately!
