VIDEO: Meet Gabby, Iowa City Patch's Adopt this Pet of the Week

Every Saturday we feature another animal at the Iowa City Animal Shelter who is need of a good home. This week, we meet Gabby, a grey tabby with a sashay to her stride and a loving attitude -- unless you pick her up.

 

This week, Willa Hamilton, Iowa City Animal Services Officer at the Iowa City Animal Shelter, introduces us to Gabby, a grey cat who is social, warm and friendly if she can approach you on her own terms. Hamilton says Gabby is a loving lap cat, who loves to sashay around the room and greet people with loving head butts. For this reason Hamilton says Gabby is one of the favorite cats at the shelter. Gabby does not, however, enjoy being picked up, and would much rather curl up in your lap at her own convenience.

For more information on adopting Gabby you can call the Animal Shelter at: (319) 356-5295. Or visit the shelter at 4852 Sand Rd SE.

Penn State had much the same creed, and you see what that kind of mindless hero worship led to.

Anything in particular vexing you Maxine? I can't do much about the look but I could help in otherRead More areas.

I have been off the blog since the change. For some reason I couldn't get on. When I would sign in,Read More everything would start flashing and wouldn't stop. Anyway I can't seem to find the regular group and its just confusing. I guess I will get used to it eventually or get so frustrated I give it up.

I can see what you're saying, it's been a bit of a culture shock for the editors as well. We'reRead More working to try to make things easier and more understandable for both regulars and newcomers. The article people seem to be arguing on at the moment is this one: http://iowacity.patch.com/groups/editors-picks/p/iowa-patch-poll-will-iowa-gop-be-able-to-recruit-a-highprofile-candidate-to-challenge-bruce-braley

While i don't support ANYTHING this group does, this isn't right. There is a cancer in the IRS. TheRead More whole organization needs to cleaned out and raise the unemployment rate.

I wouldn't mind seeing *every* group requesting not-for-profit status to be examined. That certainRead More groups are being singled out is inappropriate, whether they be anti-abortion (that's the proper term...we're all "pro-life") or pro-choice or whatever. Examine them all, to the same standards.

No. Didn't work. Okay, now I need to find the article format.
Maria Houser Conzemius June 4, 2013 at 01:55 pm
Can't find the article format. I tried.

I totally agree that "growing old isn't for sissies...its for the strong." I will be 60Read More on my next birthday and although I am not looking forward to leaving my 50's, I must admitt that each year comes with a more calming sensibility to it. I see things more clearly now even though forgetfulness is a daily occurance. The laughter of the children is much prettier and the birds chirping is welcoming instead of a nuisence at 5AM.

For tomorrow? I'll ask them and get back to you.
Stephen Schmidt (Editor) May 31, 2013 at 07:08 pm
As far as I know still going.
