Nobody stopped believin' and now Journey, Prince George's stowaway cat, is sure holding onto that feelin'.

If you don't remember her, we can help jog your memory.

The six-year-old feline arrived in Prince George in a 40-foot shipping container from Shenzen, China via Vancouver this past April.

She was found by staff at a local glass distribution company where she was discovered among pellets, shredded cardboard and styrofoam inside the large container.

The BC SPCA North Cariboo District Branch believed Journey (her name was chosen through community voting) had survived by drinking condensation. 

“I knew right away when I heard that this cat had spent weeks in a container that she not only had an amazing story, but also that she would require extensive care and rehabilitation to recover from her ordeal," North Cariboo District SPCA Animal Centre Services Manager Alex Schare said in a news release. 

When Journey first arrived at the branch in Prince George, she weighed in at just over three pounds and thanks to the community, more than $20,000 was raised for her care. 

Now, the BC SPCA has released a new video of the cute cat.

Journey is currently in foster care in the Lower Mainland with the video showing her progress from being in the SPCA's care to her playing in her new temporary home. 

"I do know that she has some great and very skilled people looking after her down there," Schare said in an email to PrinceGeorge Matters today (Nov. 27).
