Fundraiser set to happen for Larry the Downing Street pet cat
A unique quiz evening is going to take place to raise funds for the care of 10 Downing Street’s Official Mouser, Larry.
The cost of looking after Larry has, until now been paid for by David Cameron’s staff, after he was announced a community moggy who belongs to Downing Street, instead of a family pet or an expense to the taxpayer.
The fund raising evening is going to take place in the State Rooms at Number 10, to raise funds for the cost of Larry’s food and also cat supplies, and definitely will have a unique cat themed quiz round.
Larry was brought in to trap mice and rats at the PM’s property, after a number of rodents had been noticed scuttling in the shadows of live news reports. He came from Battersea Cats and dogs Home, and although it took him a little while to land his very first catch, he’s now settled into life at the legendary property.
He’s also rumoured to have found himself a special female cat, because he has been seen spending time with Maisy who actually lives within the keeper’s cottage in St James’ Park! Larry has long been neutered, so there will certainly not be any kittens.
A spokesperson for the Royal Parks said: “The Park Manager confirms that Larry does make trips to visit Maisy. The two appear to be content with each other’s company, sometimes enjoying meals together.”
