Gomez, Chaos Coordinator/Creator of Chaos
Gomez came to KVH as a rescue back in 2014. When he arrived he had head trauma, likely from being thrown from a moving vehicle. When not visiting with clients, he can be found hiding in cabinets waiting to surprise employees. He's a bit of a "Sour Patch Kid" because although he is sweet he can turn sour if he decides he has been pet too long. You may notice him walking "funny" because of his previous head trauma and seizure disorder. Don't let it fool you though because he can out run most of the staff when it's time to go in his room for the night.
