About Tomcat

Tomcat is a manufacturer of tricycles and assistive technology for children and adults. In 1997, the founder of Tomcat Bob Griffin, met his wife Anne and her son Thomas. Thomas had Angelmans Syndrome, a profound disability characterized by learning disabilities, sleep disturbance and poor coordination. Bob and Thomas became best friends and bob looked for ways for Thomas to increase his exercise so that he would sleep better. Bob developed a special trike, which he named Tomcat.
