Way to go, Ziggy

We love these "Incredible Journey" stories. In this one, a stowaway cat named "Ziggy" survived a 2,000 mile journey over 17 days without food or water after being trapped in a container shipped from Israel to Great Britain. Ziggy's journey started when the container was filled with plastic goods and sealed at a factory in Northern Israel. The fluffy white cat stunned workers when he jumped out of a sealed contained as it was unloaded at a warehouse in the UK. But Ziggy wasn't done - he continued to evade capture for five hours and was eventually lured into a cat trap with some tuna cat food.Workers at the kennel where he's staying have started a fund to raise money to keep him quarantined for the required six months. Meanwhile, officials are trying to find Ziggy's owners in Israel.
