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.
