A couple accidentally shipped their cat in an Amazon return package from Utah to California.
The cat, named Galena travelled several hundred miles trapped in the box without food or water for six days.
Galena’s mom noticed her cat had gone missing on April 10 and for nearly a week, she along with family and friends, searched the entire neighborhood and pinned up`some “missing cat” posters around their town hoping to locate their beloved furbaby.

“The anxiety and stress of not knowing what happened to her was excruciating,” Galena’s mom said.
Days later, the family received a text notifying her that Galena’s microchip had been scanned and later she received a call from a veterinarian in California.
” We thought it was a prank!” they said.
The vet said the cat had been found inside an Amazon return package, alongside five pairs of steel-toed work boots.

“I told 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,” Galena’s mom said.
The cat was rescued by an Amazon employee who found her in a warehouse and took her to the vet.
Galena’s parents flew to California to be reunited with their cat.

“It was an amazing reunion! Galena instantly stopped shaking and relaxed in my arms when I got to hold her again,” her mom said.
“Despite being skinnier and some mild dehydration, her bloodwork was completely normal and she was completely unharmed!” she added.
Galena’s mom said she hopes the story inspires pet owners and help them understand how important is to microchip their pets and have their contact info updated.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, one-third of pets will get lost at some point in their lives, but those with microchips are much more likely to be reunited with their owners.
