It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the Storm’s resident cat, Trooper. It is thought by the veterinarian that he was around 15 years old, which given his outdoor status was a good, long life. After several years keeping rats and mice at bay while dodging cars in the parking lot at The Furtado Center, he found himself retired prior to the snowstorm of 2008.
Once he moved inside with the rest of the Storm staff, Trooper was welcomed with open arms and held a great many titles from Director of Pest Control to Cat-Nip Coordinator.
Whether entertaining us with his jingling swagger or watching him dumpster dive after a staff meal, Trooper was always a source for smiles. Trooper succumbed to a combination of old age and illness Tuesday with members of his loyal Storm family standing by.
He will be missed.
