About George Gonzola BAC

George Gonzola Bac wins people over with his sweetness once he’s settled in. He’s happiest when he can sprint from room to room, then snooze away the day on a cozy lap. Don’t let his confidence with his people fool you—he needs plenty of quiet and alone time, often napping tucked away in a closet or under a bed. George is curious but remains timid around new faces, keeping his distance and preferring not to be touched by strangers. He’s famously jumpy with loud noises like vacuums and will hide until things quiet down. If George isn’t happy with his litter box, he won’t always use it. He’s extremely selective about both food and treats and will eat only his favorites. He requires medication by mouth every 12 hours for seizures and may benefit from a hydrolyzed diet to manage possible food allergies. A patient, experienced adopter is a must for George, as he thrives in a calm, predictable home with an understanding routine. George was born on January 20, 2019, making him an Aquarius—true to form, he carves his own quirky path. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
