Deputy Adopts Kitten He Rescued From Storm Drain
July 11, 2019
An Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy has a new furbaby that he rescued from a storm drain.
Deputy C. Bowling was working patrol last week and stopped at a Tom Thumb near Pace and Navy Boulevards. As he returned to his vehicle, he heard crying in dark and took off to find the source. After some searching, his flashlight caught some movement in the storm drain.
His flashlight revealed two tiny eyes staring back at him. He tried to use some tuna to lure the kitten out but the kitten was so young he wasn’t interested. Deputy Bowling was finally able to get close enough to the kitten to grab it. The poor thing was dirty and flea-covered and no mother could be located.
When Deputy Bowling took the kitten to the vet to get him medical attention, the vet said had he not rescued the kitten when he did that the kitten would have not made it. Deputy Bowling and his wife adopted the little kitten and named him Rambo.
Rambo is doing well, now clean and flea-free. Rambo, as pictured below, is definitely enjoying his new home and snuggle time with his new family.

Welcome to the rescue club…there’s nothing like it.
A good story to read now a days!
Thank you for saving this kitten. I hope you have many good years together.
This is exactly why we pray! Good works are happening all of the time. God bless this whole family on two and four feet.
Love this! Great job deputy! My daughter rescued a kitten from a storm drain at school many years ago, and 17 years later he is still going strong. We named our little rescue Chance.
Great story. I would have named the cat Draino!
Sir, you will be blessed.
OUTSTANDING JOB, Deputy Bowling!!! I’m glad we live in an area you patrol.
Great job Deputy. That little kitten has now gone from rags to riches. I love these kind of stories.
Sir, you will be blessed. Good job.
God bless you Deputy Bowlin.
He looks like a great guy. It’s always a great feeling to see a person with a job like his and have enough time for compassion. I pray blessings on you! Be safe and I appreciate the job you do!
I too rescued a small kitten on the side of a road at a busy intersection. That kitten thinks I’m her mommy. Good job deputy!
Very cute. Way to go!!!!
That is so precious
