This scenario describes a unilateral contract, where only one party (Helen) makes a promise (to offer a reward) in exchange for a specific action (finding Fluffy). Mark did not perform the specific action required to receive the reward, so he is not entitled to compensation. Additionally, since Fluffy returned home on her own, there is no need for Helen to offer a reward for finding her.
