Gabriella, 2 years old, is a dilute tortie from Deltaville, Virginia. “This is Gabriella (aka Gabby Tabby). She is sassy and full of ‘tortitude’! Gabriella was a rescue cat, and we've only had her since August. She's a dilute torbie, which is a tabby-tortie mix, and has a lovely gray and brown brindle coat, a tan spotted belly and tan back feet. She's extremely playful and independent (not a lap cat) and likes to carry her toys around in her mouth. … Gabby loves to sit by the window and talk to the birds. (Did I mention she's very vocal??) She talks constantly!”
