'Team Nigel' rallies behind East Vancouver cat after complaint about feline folk hero
Supporters built a shrine and Instagram following around Nigel after a neighbour dispute, with the cat drawing five-star reviews and community backing.
- A utility pole near Pender Street and Woodland Drive has become a shrine to East Vancouver cat Nigel, now listed on Google Maps as a tourist attraction with a five-star rating.
- The movement began roughly three weeks ago after Nigel's owners posted signs responding to a neighbor who left "angry" notes about the cat's alleged gluttony and persistent visits.
- Neighbor Marcin Owczarzak dismissed accusations as "unfounded, baseless claims," calling Nigel "super friendly," while Christopher Dutchak said, "He's basically like the neighbourhood superhero."
- Locals are making pilgrimages to the shrine to meet Nigel, who seems to bask in the attention. Neighbor Beatriz Fantini said, "It's just been cool to see the community rally together around him."
- Nigel now has his own Instagram account; the page's creator, calling themselves his "number 1 fan," started it to uplift the community beyond the physical shrine.
