Cat accidentally posted hundreds of miles to California in return Amazon package

A pet cat in the US was accidentally shipped hundreds of miles away in a Amazon return package after hopping unnoticed into the box.

Galeana went missing from her home in Utah earlier on April 10, with her worried owners perplexed as to where she had gone.

In an unexpected turn of events, an Amazon worker found her a week later in a box of steel-toed work boots in a warehouse in California and took her to a vet.

Her owner Carrie Clark was called after the cat was identified through her microchip.

She told Utah TV channel KSL TV it was the “most amazing, insane news in the entire world”.

Despite not having food or water for days, the cat managed to survive.

Thankfully, the box she was stuck in had a loose seam, meaning she was able to breathe.

Ms Clark and her husband flew to California to be reunited with their beloved pet.

She said: “It was an amazing reunion! Galena instantly stopped shaking and relaxed in my arms when I got to hold her again.

“Galeana loves boxes, it’s just part of her personality.”
