The department launched a campaign earlier this year to add a police cat to the team and after hitting their goal of Twitter retweets, the department picked a cat to fill the role.
The department posted a poll to Twitter with four options to name the cat, although they are also accepting custom options. The four poll options were:
- Pawfficer Katrina
- Pawfficer Pawla
- Pawfficer Donut
- Pawfficer Badges
We are picking Police Cat's name today in honor of #AdoptAShelterPetDay Vote or suggest another name in the comments. AND, consider visiting @mhumane to adopt your very own #PoliceCat

We've created a new rank for the police cat, Pawfficer. In the chain of command, it's probably somewhere around Chief. #Pawfficer #BossCat pic.twitter.com/9N3d26HoLY
