FIRE SERVICE: Flame the Arson Cat
Flame the Arson Cat
From the fire service community, their first furry companion I chose was a ginger & white cat from Greenville, South Carolina named "Flame" the Arson cat who lives at the Belmont Fire Department. He just showed up at the firehouse one day and fell in love with the members of Belmont Fire Department.

Law Enforcement: Furry Companion
From the law enforcement community, their first furry companion I chose a white & orange cat from Port Lavaca, Texas named "Captain" the police cat who lives at Port Lavaca Police Department. He is the second highest ranking member on the police force. According Chief Colin Rangnow, had an idea of the department adopting a cat as he grew up with different types of animals, so they decided to adopt a cat from the local shelter.

Emergency Medical Services: Furry Companion
From the Emergency Medical Service community, their first furry companion I chose was a cat from FDNY Station 57 in Brooklyn, New York. According to the crew at the EMS station 57, the stray cat, mostly named "Killer" , happened to wander into the station and became an influencer of the station. Sadly as of April 2019, "Killer" passed away due to her being very ill due to cancer.

911 Dispatch Centers: Furry Companion
 |
| TazCom Dispatch Center's Tigger |
From the 911 dispatch center group, their first furry companion I chose was a cat from TazCom Dispatch center in Perkin, Illinois. Tigger as the orange tabby is called, continues the legacy of the TazCom dispatch center's cat mascots after the first cat named "Crack" which is short for Crack Head (no one knows the meaning behind the first cat's name of Crack Head at least from the public anyways). Tigger certainly knows when dispatchers get stress from the 911 call when he jumps up or gives a purr sound to calm their nerves down.
