The male ginger and white cat, named Pharaoh by his rescuers, was shut in a container which was brought to the Port of Felixstowe, a Suffolk County Council spokeswoman said.
She said the hungry animal was found in a freight depot a month after it left Port Said in Egypt.
RSPCA officers collected Pharaoh and he is now being looked after a quarantine cattery near Colchester, Essex.
''He was not in a very good state and at first it was thought he might not survive,'' said the council spokeswoman.
''He has been taken to a quarantine centre at Colchester, checked for rabies and other problems, fed and been looked after and now looks much better.
''Pharaoh will have to stay in quarantine and then he will be re-homed here.''
