A fundraiser has been launched to raise money for a statue memorialising Kolo, the Southmead hospital cat. It has raised more than £1,200 within a day of his heartbroken owners confirming the much-loved pet had died, after sustaining severe injuries.
The Gofundme appeal, created by a staff member at Southmead, read: "Kolo was the sweetest cat ever. He loved everyone, and everyone loved him. Let’s remember him every day; he was a character and definitely one in a million."
Kolo was well-known for regularly wandering into A&E to befriend staff and cheer up patients during his nightly visits. This week (April 4), his owner confirmed that Kolo was put to sleep after incurring life-changing internal injuries in a car accident.
