Retired BGU campus cat Johnty has raised more money for Lincoln Cat Care through his stunning 2024 calendar!


It's been no secret that Johnty, Bishop Grosseteste University’s famous mascot in previous years, had proven to be a popular resident of the University. Which is why he was brought back for another calendar to raise money for the much loved charity Lincoln Cat Care! Established in 2004 by a group of cat lovers, this local charity relies on donations to rehome strays, cover vet bills, and provide emergency care to felines in need.

Trustee for Lincoln Cat Care Liz Truss was presented with the cheque for the £501 by Ian Ferguson from IT (who organised the sales) and Vice Chancellor Karen Stanton. Reprographics Manager, Alan Stacey also kindly last year put the calendar together using photos taken by Ian.

Newer feline resident Gizmo, was more than happy to help out with the process of getting the calendar designed and printed. In fact, Gizmo makes a special appearance in one of the calendar's months.

There are still calendars available for purchase. Please contact johntyuniversitycat@gmail.com to order yours for £3.50.
