Elena

This is Elena, our kitten, our companion. We received her for adoption when she was two months old, to keep us and Micaela, our older cat, who, until then, was a loner.

Elena, who quickly adapted to our company, was playful and very mischievous; she loved to roam and doze on the office furniture, leaving us the souvenir of her fluff.

When we arrived at the Network's premises, Elena was waiting for us with a tender meow, she would lie down on the floor and show us her tummy, to stroke it, then she would follow us to the offices to keep us company.

Elena was a very affectionate kitty, she would jump up and down and be patting us, kneading us and relaxing us with her purr.

When new books arrived she was the first to check them out: she smelled them, looked over them and sat on them, as if to say these books were mine...

Elena got lost one morning in June, we don't know exactly what happened; she didn't climb the roof or leave by the door. We searched for her for days and weeks, hoping to find her. Several months have passed now since her disappearance..., we know nothing about her. We prefer to think that one day she will return. We look at the work table and imagine that she is there, asleep on the books.

We miss you, Elena...! We only have the consolation of thinking that you are happy and that you are giving happiness to the people who are now with you...
