Cats love to wander around and get themselves into extraordinary situations, but this Dutch cat took that hobby to the next level. He was accidentally sent on a four-week journey from the Netherlands to Curaçao.
While this sounds like a nice holiday to many, it has been a traumatic experience for the male cat, who had to survive without food in a dark shipping container.
Luckily, as Omroep Brabant writes, he lived to meow the tale.
‘Emaciated and very scared’
The kitty was accidentally locked up in a container headed to the Caribbean island of Curaçao from the Dutch town of Moerdijk. On January 11, the container was sealed and put on a ship.
It wasn’t opened until it arrived at its final destination four weeks later, on February 9. Much to the shock of the logistics workers who opened it, a furry surprise was waiting for them.
They immediately called the local cat rescue foundation, which described the cat as “emaciated and extremely afraid but otherwise doing well.”
It’s a miracle the cat survived, and so the foundation lovingly named him Wonder (Miracle). 🐈⬛
The search for the owner continues
After a week of staying at the shelter, Wonder has slowly begun to come out of his shell, as the foundation writes on Facebook.
He is an unneutered male cat with no (readable) chip, and he’s now getting the space he needs to process his big journey.
Meanwhile, the local rescue foundation continues to search for Wonder’s owner in the Netherlands.
