An animal services officer in Seguin got to cool off Thursday morning during a cat rescue on the Guadalupe River.
Photos posted to the SPD Facebook page show Moore swimming out to the animal, then holding it above water as he swims back to the river bank.
A spokesperson for animal services told KSAT that the cat arrived soaking wet with goopy eyes.
The cat is being given a full health assessment and the shelter is waiting to see if an owner steps forward.
Shelter officials said they would provide an update on the cat in a few days if it becomes available for adoption.
