TORONTO, April 28 (UPI) -- Moses the cat was rescued at the last minute after using up just about all of its nine lives trapped in a tote bag floating down Canada's freezing Don River. .

Ivor and Shirley Oram heard the cat howling as they walked along the river but couldn't pinpoint the sound until they spotted a bright blue tote bag stuck on some rocks.

Oram retrieved the bag and found the orange tabby inside, partially submerged in water inside and barely alive.

"He was at the point where I think we'd heard his last cry," Oram told the Toronto Sun.

That was two weeks ago Saturday, and Moses, believed to be somewhere between the ages of 1 and 3, has made a remarkable comeback under the care of the Humane Society, who supplied the Biblical name. The Orams plan to adopt Moses soon as possible to join their three cats and dog at home.
