came to HSCO as a transfer
from an overpopulated shelter

rambunctious and playful; a little

keep her occupied with lots of
exercise. Alina can’t wait to fi nd
her forever home here in Central
Oregon. Could it be yours?
Affectionate and confi dent,
VAMPY will let you know that

A dominant female, she would do
best as the only cat in the home,

Vampy is pretty vocal and loves
snack time – sometimes pilfering
the other cats’ treats! She’s
hoping for a sunny spot and a
comfy bed in a home all her own!
