PET OF THE WEEK
Humane Society of Central Oregon
541-382-3537
NALA just loves her new
cattery here at HSCO, strutting
her stuff showing you what a
cool kitty she is along with her
spunky personality! Nala will
entice you to come in and give
her a little one-on-one petting
session, on her own terms that
is! Nala does have the tendency
to overstimulate so no children
under 12 please. This nature-
loving gal fancies a breath of
fresh air; therefore she desires a
home that will allow supervised
outdoor time. Come to HSCO
and fall in love with this spirited
mini lioness!
