In a tale with a tail, a family from Lehi, Utah, found themselves in disbelief when their beloved cat Galena embarked on an unexpected journey to California inside an Amazon return box.
What started as a simple task of returning five pairs of steel-toed work boots turned into a week-long ordeal of searching for the cat and eventually ended in a heartwarming reunion.
According to a report by The New York Times, Galena is a 6-year-old, short-haired feline known for her love of playing in boxes, found herself unwittingly sealed inside a 3-foot by 3-foot Amazon package on April 10.
As her owner Matt Clark packed the boots he had to return, the curious cat leaped into the box while he briefly stepped away to fetch scissors and tape.
Unaware of the feline stowaway, the package was taken to a local UPS store for shipment to an Amazon warehouse in Riverside, California.
It wasn’t until later that evening that the Clarks realized Galena was missing, sparking a frantic search across their neighborhood and surrounding areas.
For seven days, the family scoured their surroundings, enlisting the help of friends and family in the search for their beloved pet. Just as hope began to dwindle, a glimmer of light emerged on April 17 when they received a text and phone call from a veterinary office located outside of Utah, reported The New York Times.
It was revealed that Galena had been found in California.
Without hesitation, the Clarks swiftly made arrangements to reunite with Galena, booking a flight to California the following day.
The heartwarming reunion marked the end of a tumultuous week filled with worry and uncertainty.
