Fred the Cat
Fred the Cat
In 1983 an underfed, skinny cat showed up at City Hall in Seminole City Park.
At first reluctant to allow a cat in the office building, eventually the cat won the hears of the city workers. The staff at city hall adopted him, naming him Fred.
They fed him and had all his shots updated with a veterinarian. Fred loved people and would wait every morning at the door of City Hall .
He would go in and sleep on the carpet floors.
A funny story is that he often lined up his trophies of mice at the front door. He was showing off his hunting ability to prove his worth.
Fred received an official city funeral when he died in 2006. There is a marble grave just outside the front door of the museum dedicated to his memory.
