When another officer noticed Squirt behind a trash, he linked forces with his crime-fighting colleague, DonutOperator, on Instagram; now the cop has a new partner with mustaches like him.

Cody Garrett, a 28-year-old American police officer, goes by the moniker “Donut Operator” on social media. Cody and his pals were out on patrol early Saturday morning when they heard meows coming from behind a crate. When agents looked around, they discovered a little abandoned cat.

Cody is an animal lover who has two cats and a dog, so he leaped at the opportunity to care for the kitten. On Monday, he had to return to work and go on patrol with a new and inseparable colleague and buddy who had mustaches like him.

The lovely photograph was so well received on social media that he decided to continue posting images of his new spouse.

A police officer’s companion in most action movies is a dog, yet this is not always the case in real life. Squirt was adopted by Cody, and the two have been fighting crime on the streets ever since.
