Bucky
CFO |
Bucky began working at HSCAZ in December of 2019. He was brought to us as a stray and has since taken over the entire organization and is currently serving as our CFO (Chief Feline Officer). Bucky’s favorite part about working at HSCAZ is his never-ending supply of people to love on him, papers to knock off of desks, snacks to eat, and the occasional mouse to catch (even though that’s literally his only job). Thank you Bucky! |
