Artwork description:

The Community Cat sculpture is based on Robert the Allotment Cat, who was commissioned as a public statue in Birmingham, England. Sculpting Robert, so he could be remembered by all his friends at the allotments and online around the world, was a real privilege. He and his friends played such a big role in the campaign to save Walsall Allotments from being paved over for car parking, and the community’s story bringing love and hope to people far beyond Birmingham and the UK, and inspiring people to protect our furry friends, our green spaces, and all the animals that call them home. I was really happy to, to sculpt a cat that represented the kind of communal kindness that is so valuable to street cats, and feral cats. They find a home where they can, and I hope more of them find the kind of wonderful home that Robert and the other cats found with the gardeners of Walsall Allotments.

Robert had a very distinctive half-ear scar, which is not present in the Community Cat sculpture based on him, but it can be re-introduced if requested in the Foundry Bronze metal material.

This bronze cat statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Community Cat sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
