I hope he recovers and gets a good home in the US. I haven't been to
Shanghai myself but my aunt has (twice in the last 5 years, stopover on the
way to NZ and Australia.)
She says the air is so horribly polluted with fumes and smoke in Shanghai
that she could hardly breathe or even see across the street. I don't blame
the kitty for jumping on a ship to get away from that!
If he is orange and white, his face looks dirty (smoke from his homeland or
grubbing around in a container, who knows?)
He took a chance, didn't he, and looks exhausted and ill - not surprising.
I hope he'll soon recover and find a great home, I'm sure lots of people
will want him because of his sad story but they can all be filtered down
into genuine.

It's amazing to me how many cats sneak onto ships and wind up months at sea,
winding up in foreign lands. What I think is great is when they find the
cats someone always wants to take care of them

I'm always amazed that they survive. Maybe the survivors are the ones
that get in the news, though, and others don't survive - we just don't
hear about them. But just the same, it is pretty amazing that any of
them survive! I guess they lick moisture from condensed humidity that
gets on the walls, or something. That hardly seems like enough. And what
about food? Maybe shipping containers always have rodents, I don't know.
