The fun-loving feline was separated from his owner, Larysa Frisby, for several months during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a release from the Humane Society of the United States. AdvertisementThe ordeal began in February, at the start of the invasion, when Frisby was away from her home in Ukraine visiting family in Arkansas. Humane Society International helped a Ukrainian in the U.S. reunite with her cat, Persik, who was rescued from Odesa, Ukraine. Kelly Donitahn/HSIFrisby’s cousin kept Persik safe before managing to evacuate him out of Ukraine with a friend fleeing to Warsaw, Poland. Looking to reunite with Persik, which means “Peach” in Ukrainian, Frisby then reached out to Humane Society International for help.
