The famous ‘Minster Cat’ will be remembered in a special work of art which will be unveiled on 31st March at York station.
The painting has been commissioned by Gerald’s owner, Justine Spencer, and the portrait has been done by the artist Rob Martin, who has painted other cats including the one at Huddersfield Station.
Rob also made the film about Purpleman, York’s well known street artist and fundraiser.
The painting of Gerald, a friendly Bengal, who was known for welcoming visitors to the city and keeping locals company too, will have pride of place at the York Gin shop at the station.
Justine Spencer says: “I can’t wait to see it and I’m so excited that it will also be possible for people to see it on a daily basis at York Gin”
YorkMix will be there to see it revealed.
