A black cat under a blood moon sounds like a recipe for bad luck. In Platteville, it's a symbol of unconditional love.

Police Officer Matt Froiseth was checking out Sunday's super blood wolf moon when he heard a meow near Business 151 in Platteville.

Officer Froiseth discovered a black kitten in a ditch. It was stuck in the snow.

"He then brought the kitten back to his warm squad car, and the little guy curled up just like in the pictures, and hasn't left his side," reads the Facebook post.

The post encouraged someone to claim the kitty at Platteville Vet Clinic. But Officer Froiseth decided to take his new friend home.

"After some serious thought, Officer Froiseth couldn't say 'no' and has added to his family! This little cutie has found its furrrever home. As we all hoped, it WAS love at first sight," reads an update to the post.

As of noon Monday, the post had 679 shares and nearly 3,000 likes on Facebook.

Platteville is located in southwest Wisconsin, just north of Elk Grove.
