Gedi
Birthdate: Mar 17, 1992
Arrived: Jun 1, 1992
Gender: Female
Gedi was abandoned in a garage by her owner when she was 3 months old. She was rescued by Dallas Animal Control and then brought to IEAS. Gedi is a very playful lioness. You will often see her hanging upside-down in her hanging tire. She will hang halfway in the tire with her hind legs off the ground as it swings back and forth. Gedi is one of the many animals here that benefits from our unique Emotional Enrichment Program. Louis, Animal Behaviorist, began working with Gedi shortly after she arrived. When Gedi first arrived, she really distrusted humans. She was always anxious and running along the fence as people went by. She soon calmed down after Louis began working with her, showing her that he was a source of security and comfort and that humans can be trusted. Gedi now enjoys visits from Louis and will stand by him allowing him to scratch her back on occasions. Even when Gedi receives a new enrichment item, she prefers visiting with Louis rather than play with her new toy. Help support Gedi.
