Petition to Place Mo’s Statue at the Co-op
Dear Co-op Management,
We, the undersigned, are writing to kindly request that you allow the statue of Mo to be placed on the wall of your store.
Mo was more than just a cat — he was a cherished part of the community. Of all the places he visited, the Co-op was the one he loved most. It became his second home, a place where he felt safe, welcomed, and adored not only by customers but by the wider community who came to know him through that very spot.
Placing Mo’s statue on the wall of the Co-op would be a meaningful tribute to his life and the joy he brought to so many people. It would honour the bond between Mo, your store, and the community that rallied around him. The location holds deep emotional significance, and there is no more fitting place to celebrate his story.
We would also like to reassure you that the statue has already been carefully made and stands at 35 cm in height. We will ensure it is installed safely and professionally, in a way that does not interfere with the operation of your store or customer access. We are happy to meet any reasonable requirements regarding placement and to take responsibility for its upkeep where needed.
We would also like to highlight the positive opportunity this presents for the Co-op. We are planning a special unveiling day for the statue, which will include members of the public, local supporters, journalists, and invited guests, including well-known figures. This event is expected to attract significant attention and footfall, bringing positive publicity and increased visibility to your store. It would be a moment of community pride and a chance for the Co-op to be recognised as a place that supports kindness, connection, and local stories that matter.
Beyond the unveiling, the statue is likely to become a lasting point of interest for visitors and locals alike. Mo’s story continues to touch people, and the Co-op would remain at the heart of that story — a place people will continue to visit, photograph, and speak positively about for years to come.
This tribute aligns closely with the Co-op’s values of community, care, and local connection. Supporting this project would demonstrate those values in a visible and meaningful way.
For many, Mo was a source of comfort, routine, and connection. Having his statue at the place he loved most would mean a great deal to the people who knew him and to those who came to love him from afar.
We would welcome the opportunity to work together with you on this and ensure the tribute reflects both Mo’s story and the Co-op’s place within it.
Allowing the statue to be placed on your wall would not only honour Mo’s legacy but also strengthen the Co-op’s relationship with the community it serves.
We sincerely hope you will consider this request and support us in creating a lasting tribute to a much-loved community cat.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
