Carrie Clark recounted how their indoor-only cat, Galena, vanished without a trace on April 10. Over the following week, they, along with friends and family, combed through their home, neighbourhood, and nearby areas looking for her. They also put up missing posters throughout the town and across various social media platforms hoping for news.
¡°Galena is a huge emotional support to me and has helped me get through many health challenges over the past six years,¡± Carrie told KSL TV in an email. ¡°The anxiety and stress of not knowing what happened to her was excruciating.¡±

After Galena's microchip was scanned by a vet on April 17, Carrie received a text and a follow-up call. ¡°I didn¡¯t believe her at first and thought it was a prank,¡± Carrie said.
¡°I ran to tell my husband that Galena was found and we broke down upon realizing that she must have jumped into an oversized box that we shipped out the previous Wednesday. The box was a ¡®try before you buy,¡¯ and filled with steel-toed work boots.¡±
How did Galena the cat survive?
The pet cat was reportedly without food and water for six whole days. An Amazon employee named Brandy came to the Galena's rescue. "After talking to the vet, I got to talk to Brandy on the phone!¡± Carrie shared. ¡°She was so relieved to find out that we love Galena and were desperately looking for her.¡±
Carrie and her husband flew to Galena the next day and shared a sweet reunion.
