A
Utah
couple
is
thanking
their
lucky
stars
after
they
were
reunited
with
their
pet
cat
they
accidentally
shipped
to
an
Amazon
facility
in
Riverside,
California,
while
trying
to
make
a
return.
Galena
the
cat
is
back
home
in
the
Beehive
State
after
the
wayward
feline’s
tendency
to
snuggle
in
boxes
inadvertently
took
her
on
a
trip
to
Southern
California.
According
to
the
cat’s
owners,
Matt
and
Carrie
Stevens
Clark,
the
pair
shipped
a
box
of
shoes
to
Amazon
for
a
return.
Little
did
they
know,
however,
Galena
made
the
mistake
of
making
herself
comfortable
in
that
very
same
box.
“That
was
the
worst
part,
we
just
had
no
idea
what
happened,”
Carrie
told
NBC
affiliate
KSL
News.
“She
just
mysteriously
disappeared.
We
had
absolutely
no
idea
what
happened
to
her.”
Desperate
to
find
their
beloved
pet,
the
couple
set
out
fliers
in
their
neighborhood
bringing
attention
to
their
cat’s
disappearance.
They
also
called
friends,
family
members
and
neighbors
inquiring
about
Galena’s
whereabouts.
With
no
leads
on
their
cat’s
location,
the
couple
became
disheartened;
that
is
—
until
they
received
a
shocking
phone
call
that
Carrie
described
as
“the
most
amazing,
insane
news
in
the
entire
world.”
Galena’s
microchip
was
detected
650
miles
away
in
Riverside.
An
Amazon
worker
found
the
cat
and
took
her
under
her
care
until
the
family
could
be
reunited.
“I
just
couldn’t
even
believe
that
she
was
in
California,”
she
said.
“I
thought
it
was
a
prank.
It’s
still
hard
to
wrap
my
brain
around.”
According
to
the
Clarks,
their
cat
sneakily
went
undetected
in
the
large
box
and
was
shipped
off.
“We
had
no
idea,
so
Matt
took
her
to
the
package
drop-off
without
knowing
that
our
dear
cat
was
inside,”
Carrie
said.
Galena
went
six
days
without
food
or
water
but
according
to
her
owners,
she
has
since
recovered.
“We’re
just
so
happy
to
have
her
again,”
Carrie
said.
“Oh
my
goodness.”
