PBRstreetgang Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 ELDRIDGE, N.D. - A stowaway who made it past Customs agents and into the United States on the metal frame of a fertilizer truck has won over locals, who call her the "sweetest illegal immigrant we've ever met." The migrant — a cat — hopped aboard a semitrailer hauling fertilizer from Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, to Eldridge, near Jamestown. Customs agents at the border alerted the driver, but no one could catch the feline. When the semi arrived in Eldridge, the furry stowaway was still clinging to the frame. The trip Wednesday took about eight hours. "She had nothing to grip with her claws because it's metal," said Mainline bookkeeper Jessica Hansen, who rescued the cat. "I don't know how she kept from falling out." Hansen said she and her fellow employees — who named the cat Canada — considered keeping the animal as a mascot, but decided it was too risky with all the trucks around. The James River Humane Society in Jamestown is trying to find it a home. "I don't want to see her deported now that they've tightened the immigration laws," Society spokeswoman Deb Archambeau joked. "She's sweet and friendly and deserves a good home. She's the sweetest illegal immigrant we've ever met." OMG what an ordeal that must have been for that poor kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
