This Cat Kept Coming To A Police Department, So The Cops Built Their New Master A Cozy Condo
For the last four years, Boston Police Department’s SWAT team has had an unofficial mascot – a stray calico feline who came to their headquarters one day and never left. Naturally, they named the kitty SWAT cat.
“[We] have tried numerous tactics over the years to convince her to come in from the elements but she is set in her ways,” a department spokesperson wrote online. Nothing seemed to work, so they started building her little houses to accommodate her outdoor lifestyle. Finally, she got a condo that matches the place she holds in the police officers’ hearts.
“Officer Jamie Pietroski, a 15-year veteran of the Boston Police Department, stayed late after work for several nights painstakingly preparing Swat Cat’s new home,” writes the department. “The condo features a spacious studio interior layout, a large deck for outdoor dining and glass sliding doors offering panoramic city views.”
They added: “Swat Cat moved right in and looks very happy with her new custom kitty accommodations.”

How cute! I bet it gets pretty cold in Boston Sandra from California.
This actually made me sad... I also had a stray who always slept at my back door but wouldn´t come inside. So I had a two-storey house made for him, which he loved. It was filled with stray and a fleeze blanket. He looked so proud looking out of his bedroom window! I had him neutered so he wouldn´t get into fights and he was such a sweet, calm kitty. But one morning he didn´t come back and I haven´t found him in the neighborhood. pata-58a86...e37437.jpg 
I'm so sorry. Hope he is ok. You did everything you could for him, so be sure he felt your love.

GRACIAS! SOLO VER QUE HAY AMOR AUN EN EL MUNDO. ÉSTE NO SOLO SE DEMUESTRA CON LAS PERSONAS SINO TAMBIÉN CON LOS ANIMALES. PUES ELLOS NOS DAN GRANDES LECCIONES SOBRE COMO SE DEBE VIVIR.
