A 6 year old cat, later named Journey spent three weeks trapped in a shipping container coming from China to the Port of Vancouver.
Upon arriving Journey was incredibly sick having survived three weeks without any food. She was suffering from liver disease caused by starvation. The mental torment she experienced being trapped in the container was harder for her to overcome than the physical issues were.
Journey would freeze in terror whenever she saw a human. Luckily with the help of BCSPCA veterinarian behaviourist, Dr. Karen Van Haaften Journey managed to overcome her trauma.
Journey will need a few more months in her foster home before she’s ready to be adopted into a home as the only cat. The SPCA is not currently accepting adoption applications for Journey but will provide an update to the public when applications will be open for this special cat.
