Utah Cat Miraculously Survives Six-Day Journey in Amazon Return Box to California

The cat, named Galena, was accidentally shipped from Utah to California without food or water, but was found in good health thanks to a vigilant Amazon employee.

Galena, a six-year-old indoor cat, was inadvertently shipped over 600 miles in a box containing steel-toed boots.
The cat's absence was noticed immediately by her family, who launched a widespread search and distributed missing posters.
An Amazon employee in California discovered Galena alive in the return package, leading to a heartwarming reunion with her owners.
Galena's survival was aided by a split seam in the box which allowed air to circulate, and mild weather conditions during transit.
The incident highlights the importance of microchipping pets, as Galena's microchip played a crucial role in her identification and safe return.
