Officers with the Canada Border Service Agency noticed a hole in the pacage when examining it at the Vancouver International Mail Centre in Richmond.

"When the CBSA officer looked into the box, the officer saw a pair of eyes staring back, which blinked,” Binder Kooner, Chief of Operations for the CBSA said in a statement provided by the BC SPCA.

“The cat appeared healthy but scared.”

After being coaxed out of the box, officials contacted an animal control officer who transported the frightened feline to a local vet clinic. The kitty was vaccinated against rabies, tested for diseases and parasites and given fluids and medication, the BC SPCA's news release said.

She was also given an appropriate name: Precious Cargo.
