A Utah couple, Carrie Clark and her husband, experienced a heart-wrenching ordeal when their beloved pet cat, Galena, went missing. After days of searching high and low with no success, they were astounded to discover that their feline companion had accidentally been shipped in an Amazon return package.
The couple had sent back a pair of steel-toed work boots through Amazon’s ‘try before you buy’ program. Unbeknownst to them, Galena had jumped into the oversized box before it was sealed and shipped.
For six agonizing days, Galena endured the journey without food or water. Miraculously, she survived due to a fortunate set of circumstances. The box she was in had split open slightly, providing her with air to breathe. Additionally, her embedded microchip proved to be her saving grace.
On April 17th, an Amazon employee named Brandy discovered Galena inside the package at a warehouse in California. Brandy promptly took her to a nearby veterinary clinic, where her microchip was scanned, revealing the identity of her distraught owners.
Upon receiving the call that their cherished pet had been found, Carrie and her husband immediately flew to California to reunite with Galena. They were overjoyed to find her alive and well, albeit a bit thinner and dehydrated. However, her bloodwork was normal, and she had miraculously escaped any serious harm.
Carrie expressed her immense gratitude to Brandy and the Amazon employee who had discovered Galena. She emphasized the crucial role that the microchip played in the safe return of her beloved companion. The couple’s reunion with Galena was a testament to the power of hope, the kindness of strangers, and the importance of responsible pet ownership.
