Here's a little more information about the legendary cat Garfield.
Garfy (aka Garfield or Mr. Sainsburys) just turned up one day in 2010 and made himself at home. He had no microchip so had to stay! He used to roam the fields around the Sainsburys area before it was built. During its construction this carried on and he became friendly with the builders. When the store opened it became his second home, especially when he found the red sofa in the Virgin store was a comfy place to spend the day. We had calls from several vets (one in Soham!) to come and collect him because people thought he was a stray. In 2015 we set up his Facebook Page and that's how his fame began with his many adventures at the store, including being banned at one point and making so many friends along the way. David (Garfy's Dad) thought it would be a good idea to get a donation box for Cats Protection and through his liaison with store employee Louise this was achieved! Garfy's appearances at the Little Downham Cat Show has also drawn people in. His Facebook page has touched many people's lives throughout the world and his legacy will live on through Ely Cats Protection and his books.
