Lyndon is the cat's whiskers for charity
A solicitor swapped shirt and tie for fur and claws when he dressed up as a ginger feline to raise funds for charity.
Lyndon Campbell, from SM Commercials, dressed as Haworth Cat, the mascot for Yorkshire Cat Rescue, and turned heads by going to work in the furry costume to raise both cash and the charity’s profile.
He said: "As a long-term supporter and now Chairman of Yorkshire Cat Rescue, it is a charity which is very close to my heart.
“Staff, volunteers and trustees do an amazing job under very challenging conditions. In light of their efforts, my temporary identity-swap seemed a very small gesture."
On February 15, the charity hosts its first fundraising ball at the Hilton in Bradford - sponsored by SM Commercial to raise money for some of Yorkshire's many homeless and unwanted cats and kittens.
Tickets cost £45 and for more information contact fundraiser, Paula Godfree on paula.godfree@haworthcatrescue.org or call (01535) 647184.
