Deputy's Drumstick Rescue Saves Kitten
26 Jun
Summary
- A deputy used a drumstick to rescue a kitten from a car engine.
- Three kittens were found by women whose car was running.
- The rescued kittens were taken to a local humane society.
In Flowery Branch, Georgia, a Hall County Sheriff's deputy performed an unusual rescue. Officer Nick Jackson, working election security on June 16, 2026, noticed two women struggling with a car. They had discovered three kittens under the hood, successfully rescuing two but unable to reach the third, which was trapped near the engine's transmission.
Using a drumstick found in the women's car and his flashlight, Deputy Jackson was able to carefully pry the black and white kitten loose. The women expressed their gratitude, emphasizing how the drumstick's distraction proved effective. They were unsure how the kittens ended up in the vehicle but were relieved they were found.
The rescued kittens were slated for transport to a local humane society for necessary care. This incident followed a separate rescue by Hall County Fire Rescue involving an injured black lab trapped in a ravine, prompting a lighthearted social media challenge between the two departments.
