A 4 month old tabby took a trip across Niagara on a garbage truck.
The cat, now named 'Oriole', stowed away on the truck at the Emterra yard in south St. Catharines.
After the vehicle inspection, Oriole remained hidden.
Continuing with his duties, the truck driver drove to Grimsby and headed down Oriole Drive.
When he got there, he heard a cat screaming and discovered the cat hidden under the truck.
He immediately called the Lincoln County Humane Society and an officer attended to retrieve the cold, frightened cat and bring him back to the St. Catharines shelter.
Oriole sustained only minor injuries and will stay at the shelter while they try to find his home.
