a cat called Room 8

"The feline named Room 8 Cat that once roamed the halls and classrooms of Elysian Heights Elementary and served as the school’s mascot has been immortalized on campus in the form of murals painted on school buildings, tributes carved into the sidewalk and hallway displays. Far from the campus, in Riverside, there is another tribute to the legendary school mascot, the Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation, a home for cats left homeless by owners who have died or can no longer take care of their pets..." via The Eastsider
