"The responders tugged the woman back onto dry land using a rope hitched to the preserver. Halfway through the water rescue, one officer spotted a small, slow-moving speck in his peripheral. 'The cat! The cat!' the officer shouted as he pointed to the white feline, who was drifting closer to the shore."
"An officer helped the woman take a few steps on the sand before she collapsed in a fit of sobs. She lay limp on her back, overwhelmed by exhaustion and fear. 'What happened? Are you okay? You're okay,' one officer tried to console as the woman blubbered something unintelligible."
"The NYPD shared a picture of the good-natured pet swaddled in a towel. Officials are still investigating the situation. It's not immediately clear how the woman and her cat wound up in the river in the first place."
NYPD officers responded to a report of a woman and her cat in distress in the East River. They threw a lifesaver to the woman, who clung to it while screaming for help. Rescuers pulled her to safety using a rope. An officer spotted the cat drifting and rescued it as well. The woman was taken to a hospital in stable condition, while the cat was also recovering. The circumstances leading to their situation remain under investigation.
