As tornado-damaged St. Patrickâ€™s Cathedral in Iowa City was demolished yesterday, the lone remaining resident, Ricky the Raccoon, refused to leave. This photo gallery tells the story. Link -via Metafilter

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Poor little guy! Even though raccoons really are (can be) pests, especially in the city, I can’t believe no one called an animal services organization. Surely Iowa City has a professional who could have *safely relocated Ricky.

Awww!! I feel so bad for him, all huddled over. I hope he told all of the other raccoons his amazing story!
