A Little Tribute for a Big Personality

If you've spent any time in Daventry town centre over the past few years, there's a good chance you've met Salem, the three-legged cat who had a habit of wandering into shops, finding a comfortable spot, and making himself entirely at home. Argos was one of his favourites.

Salem was recently struck by a car in the town centre, and the loss has been felt widely. When a member of the Argos team (my wife) asked if we could make something to honour him in the store, we got to work.

We designed and printed a small statue, something that could sit on a counter and serve as a quiet reminder of the cat who made so many people smile on their lunch breaks and shopping trips. An Argos colleague shared a photo of it alongside some flowers and a card, and the response from the local community has been overwhelming with over 500 reactions and countless warm comments.

We're proud to be part of Daventry, and moments like this are a reminder of why we love doing what we do.

Run free, Salem. 🐾
