In June 2025, the team at the La Rochelle police station welcomed a rather unexpected new recruit. Coming from a family of police officers, an adorable kitten named Cheops settled into the station immediately. But far from being just a passive mascot, the young feline arrived to carry out a very practical and essential daily role.
Working directly with the unit in charge of domestic abuse investigations and child protection, Cheops has a precious reassuring role. During interviews, which are often heavy and distressing, his warm presence and soothing purrs offer much-needed comfort to victims. At the same time, he brings a welcome breath of fresh air to the hard-working officers.
From police routine to the television spotlight
After spending more than a year watching over everyone with remarkable devotion, this kind-hearted cat's incredible adventure is about to reach far beyond his local region. Cheops' lovely story has caught the attention of TV producers, keen to highlight his unique role within the police force.
The police cat will star in the very first episode of the new season of the show "The Secret Life of Cats", airing on 1st September on the French channel RMC Story. It is the perfect opportunity for the public to get a behind-the-scenes look at his extraordinary daily life. Viewers will see the touching bond he builds every day with both the detectives and the people he supports.
A four-legged ambassador loved by all
Through this lovely television appearance, Cheops proves once again how much an animal's presence can transform even the most serious environments. From spontaneous cuddles on desks to listening quietly during tough times, this exceptional cat continues to show that gentleness remains one of the police station's most powerful tools.
