A Utah cat sneaked inside a 3-by-3-foot cardboard Amazon returns package and got shipped to California.
The Lehi couple say they didn’t noticed the added weight of their cat in the package since the box already weighed more than 30 pounds.
It wasn’t. Galena, her 6-year-old American shorthair, had sneaked inside a 3-by-3-foot cardboard Amazon returns package alongside five pairs of steel-toed boots. Then the cat was transported two states away to one of the company’s warehouses, where it was discovered by Amazon employees.Despite her ordeal, Galena was in relatively good health with no issues apart from mild dehydration, Clark said.
Since the box already weighed more than 30 pounds, Clark and her husband, who live in the city of Lehi, near Salt Lake City, did not notice the added weight of a stowaway when they mailed it on April 10, she said. Then she received the call from a veterinarian in Riverside, California. An Amazon employee, Brandy Hunter, had brought Galena in, and the veterinarian identified her through her microchip and contacted Clark.
