"It's a miracle this cat had not suffocated so she immediately removed her and put her in her car which was parked nearby before getting a pet carrier to secure her," Kate Wright, an animal collection officer with the RSPCA, said in a press release.

The woman couldn't believe her eyes. Clearly someone had gone to great lengths to make sure the cat was unable to escape from the box, and the woman was heartbroken to think that anyone could be so cruel. Knowing the cat was in desperate need of help, she quickly contacted the RSPCA in hopes that they could take her in.

"Amazingly the cat — who I've named Holly — is OK, but is unsurprisingly completely terrified," Wright said.
