Story

Jasper, our official feline Bassetlaw greeter, has passed away following a short illness.

For many years, this three-legged boy has been a staple at Bassetlaw Hospital, often found somewhere nearby the site’s maternity entrance, greeting patients and colleagues, as well as bidding a fond farewell to those departing.

So popular was Jasper that he undertook regular photo shoots, and the mantra ‘don’t feed Jasper’ became so repeated that we considered translating it into Latin and having it mounted as the hospital’s official motto.

Most of all though, he made colleagues happy. His presence could make a hard day, evening or morning just that little bit brighter. Jasper was never skinny with his affection, and enjoyed a stroke, scratch and belly rub from everybody.

In every sense he was a member of our team, and we will sorely miss him greeting, and cheering us up, at the start, or end, of a busy day.

To remember him, we are raising funds to purchase and place a bench and plaque dedicated to Jasper's memory. This will be placed near to his favourite spot in maternity.

Any surplus funds raised will be donated to DBTH Charity and used in support of patient care and treatment.
