Trapped in crate shipped from China: Hungry, resourceful cat found in B.C.
An orange tabby-style cat has likely used up more than a few of its nine lives during an unauthorized trip from China to British Columbia. The North Cariboo District Branch of the B.C. SPCA says the emaciated, six-year-old female, shown in handout photo, was found inside a shipping container originally loaded nearly a month ago in Shenzhen, China.

"The North Cariboo District Branch of the B.C. SPCA says the emaciated, six-year-old female was found inside a shipping container originally loaded nearly a month ago in Shenzhen.
The container arrived by freighter in the Port of Vancouver and was shipped to Prince George, where the unnamed cat was found amongst the pallets, shredded cardboard and foam pellets inside the container.
No food or water was available but it's believed the cat survived by licking condensation that had formed on the walls of the shipping container.
Animal control officers say the feline weighed just 1 1/2 kilograms when it was found by staff at a Prince George auto glass distribution company as they unpacked the crates."
