Rescue:
On Halloween night, two trickortreaters arrived at a woman’s shop, excited yet a bit spooked. A
black cat had been following them for several blocks, her golden eyes gleaming in the streetlights.
This was Olena—a friendly tortoiseshell cat who seemed curious about all the activity. Seeing her
affectionate nature, the woman brought Olena into her home and posted on the community lost pet
site, convinced that this sweet cat had a family nearby. Despite her efforts, no one came forward.
She broadened her search to other lost pet groups, local rescues, and the city shelter, but there
was no report of a missing tortie. Hoping for answers, she took Olena to the vet to check for a
microchip, but none was found. Unfortunately, severe allergies meant the woman couldn’t keep her,
so she reached out to Pet Patrol. After a twoweek waiting period with no owner claiming her,
Olena’s profile was created, her photo taken, and she is now officially ready to find a forever home
with a family who will cherish her.
Personality:
What a dear little cat! Olena has settled into the sanctuary beautifully, without a single hiss or growl
—just purrs and requests for belly rubs. She has effortlessly made herself at home among the
many cats here, always ready to be approached for pets or to be picked up. It’s clear she was once
a cherished house cat, though her past remains a mystery. It’s been a joy to watch Olena explore,
play with toys, and embrace the playroom with curiosity. Her gentle, friendly nature shines through
every day, and she brings warmth to everyone she meets. Olena is now ready for her forever home
—one that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
