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.
