A kitten in need of donations
Tax-deductible donations to pay for the quarantine and care costs for Matson, the kitten who survived 10 days in a shipping container, may be mailed to Companion Animal Hospital, 1090 Keolu Drive, Suite 102, Kailua 96734; or Joey's Feline Friends, P.O. Box 240052, Honolulu, HI 96824-0052.

Matson, a newborn kitten who survived 10 days without food and water in the cold of a Matson shipping container, has probably used up eight of its nine lives, says Tedra Villaroz, founder of Joey's Feline Friends.

The "miracle" kitty has made it through a tenuous six weeks against all odds, says Villaroz, founder of the rescue shelter in Kaneohe.

In late August, a Safeway employee brought Matson, barely alive, in to Kahala Petland, where Villaroz sets up an adoption table on Saturdays.

The employee, who chose to remain anonymous, told Villaroz the container driver "kept hearing noises" from a sealed container that was delivered to Safeway, Villaroz said.

6. Whatta cutie

Wish I could adopt him.I'd worship the ground his paws touch,(I am that way about all cats)
I got 3 furbabies of my own already that have my full time devotion.
And my mom doesen't like cats as much as I do. I think 3 is her limit(damn)
Anyways I hope whoever he lives with,really loves him because Matson is a treasure to behold and he needs to be cherished,,adored,and given tons of love, attention especially after what he's been through..
