A cat may have used a couple of its nine lives when it was accidentally shipped with an Amazon return from Utah to California.

A Utah couple got the surprise of their life when they got a call that their missing cat was found in Los Angeles.

Carrie Clark said her family’s indoor-only cat, Galena, mysteriously disappeared on April 10. Friends and family helped them search their house, neighborhood and surrounding community for a week while they plastered missing posters around town and on social media.

“Galena is a huge emotional support to me and has helped me get through many health challenges over the past six years,” Clark told KSL TV in an email. “The anxiety and stress of not knowing what happened to her was excruciating.”

Then, on April 17, Clark received a text that Galena’s microchip had been scanned that afternoon. Immediately after, imagine Clark’s surprise when she received a call from a vet — in California.

“I didn’t believe her at first and thought it was a prank,” Clark said.

The vet told Clark she had her beloved cat, Galena, who was found inside of an Amazon box alongside five pairs of work boots.

“I ran to tell my husband that Galena was found and we broke down upon realizing that she must have jumped into an oversized box that we shipped out the previous Wednesday,” Clark said. “The box was a ‘try before you buy,’ and filled with steel-toed work boots.”

Ultimately, Galena was trapped in the box with the Amazon returns for six days without food or water.

An Amazon employee named Brandy rescued the cat from the box when she found it in the California warehouse. She took care of the cat before dropping Galena off at the vet the following day.

“After talking to the vet, I got to talk to Brandy on the phone!” Clark said. “She was so relieved to find out that we love Galena and were desperately looking for her.”

Clark and her husband booked a flight for the next day to reunite with their miracle cat.

“We brought Galena’s pink carrier, food, favorite treats, and towels that smelled like home. We couldn’t wait to see her again!” Clark said.

Brandy told Clark that Galena immediately recognized and reacted to Clark’s voice when they entered the vet’s office.

the dangerhair is the one who rescued the cat in the Bezos warehouse

The rest of his post still stands bigly, I had them pictured backwards too. I don't believe in high likelihoods of anyone "accidentally"- anything to a cat without use of a car, they're anxious and fast as fuck.

I'm just glad the cat is okay.

I bet there was a budgerigar involved somewhere.

Yeah not buying that this happened the way she says. You're going to notice a cat in a box when you're preparing it for shipping. Particularly when the cat starts freaking out at being sealed up in the box. To say nothing of the added weight

They had to have drugged the cat or something strong enough that it wouldn't be awake during dropoff. Shipping workers would have noticed a crying cat between then and now. How was this not caught between dropoff and arrival at the warehouse? Was it a straight route from Utah to California with no stops?

How the fuck do you accidentally seal and then ship out your pet.

Heavy box:

“The box was a ‘try before you buy,’ and filled with steel-toed work boots.”

They can also hide. Our cat loves the countryside but hates travel and especially preparations, she hides every time, in a different spot, even more cleverly than list time. And she'd never bolt from her hiding place until she's found; she'd quietly crawl around a sofa or move to different sections of the wardrobe, or between the toilet room and the bathtub room and back through the hole for the drainage pipe. But no amount of noise can flush her out of hiding, she only runs when someone sees her AND she sees an open exit or another good hiding spot.

She's a dangerhair with a 'support cat' so a headcase.

OR she's a working-class old white woman who thinks having a "support cat" makes her trendy like the muhmentalhealth influencers on facebook. Remember you're getting this through the double filter of social media and j*urno.
