Kitten found in crate from China
Updated: Thu Jul. 08 2010 18:51:02
A crew at Icon Stone and Tiling in Calgary got a huge surprise while unloading a crate from China on Thursday.
Inside they found a kitten.
She was scared and emaciated, but she was okay.
Staff put out some food and water to try to coax the cat out of her hiding spot.
In the end crews had to remove 24 slabs of granite to get to the approximately six-month-old kitten.
Staff then called the Humane Society for help.
They believe the cat had been in the crate about one month and appeared very skinny.
Fortunately, the Humane Society's Maria Spina was able to catch the kitty and take her to safety.
Happy 3rd Birthday Mandarin!
My story... July 8, 2010 there was a stowaway kitten in a container of granite which traveled all the way from China to Calgary. When we discovered her upon opening the container we notified SPCA and of course the media. While waiting to get this poor little malnourished kitten out to safety we named it Mandarin. She was immediately taken into quarantine at the time only weighing 900 grams. After a very long road of medical issues and finally able to be released with a clean bill of health, I finally was able to adopt this crazy little kitty we called Mandarin! To me today is my little China Girl's birthday... Happy 3rd birthday Mandarin... 祝你生日快樂普通話 Zhù nǐ shēngrì kuàilè pǔtōnghuà. Hahaha :)) Thank you everyone at the Calgary, AB. Humaine Society for everything they did to keep her healthy and alive.
