Baltimore police officer Jon Boyer's sudden fame started with a single picture of him on Facebook, cuddling a kitten he had rescued and, later, adopted.
Commenters couldn't help but notice that the officer was, well, freakin adorable.
Boyer was also included in the anti-animal abuse campaign, "Show Your Soft Side," which features "acknowledged hard men" being kind to animals.
Boyer even has his own fan page, I Love Jon Boyer, with more than 1,600 likes.
On the page, he shares adoption notices for animals in the area.
Boyer has a been a cop for about three and a half years, and though rescuing is not in his job description, he said most of his squad does it.
The 26-year-old, who has been named one of the Sexiest Cat Guys of 2013, has even become a local celebrity, frequently making appearances at animal adoption events.
Basically, the easy-on-the-eyes officer is in pretty high demand.
He's single and ready to mingle!
And just in case cats aren't your thing...
