Extraordinary Journey of a Utah Cat: From a Box in Utah to California

Galena, a playful six-year-old indoor cat from Utah, went on an unplanned trip inside an Amazon return package. Her owners had no idea. She rode about 500 miles from Lehi, Utah, to California.

When Carrie Clark realized Galena was nowhere to be found, she was distraught. After a week of searching, the Clarks were told Galena had turned up in Los Angeles. She had been shipped across the country by accident.

In California, Brandy Hunter, an Amazon employee, found Galena inside a returned parcel. Hunter, a self-described “enthusiastic cat lover,” looked after her. A microchip scan at the local vet clinic identified Galena, and the Clarks were soon reunited with her, though she looked a little slimmer.

Clark suspects Galena’s curiosity and love of boxes got her into it. She seems to have climbed into the Amazon box while it was being sealed, and nobody noticed because of the package’s weight. Clark was thankful and relieved to have her home safe.
