DBAHO Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 A US business owner opening a shipment of merchandise from China got an additional item he didn't expect - a severely undernourished cat. The female cat, named China by animal service staff members, tipped the scale at just over 1.35kg after being trapped in the container for the nearly month-long trip. Norman Goldberg, owner of Quality Discount Cages, said he discovered the cat a week ago when he received the shipment of bird cages at his warehouse. Several cardboard boxes holding cages had been chewed up. "I opened it up, and out jumped the cat," he said. The travelling feline apparently began her journey at a factory in China where workers loaded the parrot cages into a 12-metre metal container early last month, Goldberg said. The container arrived by boat in Los Angeles on April 1 and then travelled by rail to Tampa, Florida. China was taken to Hillsborough County Animal Services, where she was given intravenous fluids and food. She was later transferred to a private clinic, Florida Veterinary Specialists, for further tests. Results were pending today. Goldberg's brother-in-law emailed the factory in China where the cages originated, Dayang Co. "You gave us a very big surprise today," a company staffer wrote in response. "We are very happy to know our cat still alive. Would you please tell us more information about our cat? "Is it a yellow or gray one? Because we have two cats, but they disappeared one month ago. ... Please raise it, or you can give it to the animal asylum." If the cat is healthy, it will be put up for adoption. "I hope it gets adopted," Goldberg said. "It has used up most of its nine lives."
