Georgie
Resident Cat and Activity Coordinator since 2021

Hello Friends!
I'm George, the Feline Medical Clinic resident cat. I was born in December of 2010, which makes me a teenager!I am a very busy boy. I am in charge of the whole clinic, both inside and out. I supervise meetings, I guard the parking lot, I advise my employees when it is time to feed me, and I play ferociously with my worm fishing toy. I also take many naps throughout the day to keep my energy up. If you see me in a window, feel free to wave “hi”! I love to drink out of my window water bowl, and to lay in the sun when the opportunity presents itself.
