What Happened When an Amazon Driver Took a Cat
In several reported incidents, an Amazon driver picked up a cat that was outside a home or apartment. The driver may have mistaken the cat for a package, or the cat may have entered a vehicle or delivery area. Such situations are usually accidental and not intentional theft.
How to Prevent Your Cat From Being Taken by a Driver
Keep cats indoors or in a secure carrier when deliveries are expected. Use clear signage, request delivery instructions, and require signature or photo confirmation for packages. Monitor doorbell or security camera alerts so you can intervene quickly if a driver approaches your pet.
What to Do If an Amazon Driver Takes Your Cat
Contact the driver or local Amazon support immediately. Check nearby vehicles and ask neighbors if they saw anything. If the cat is missing, file a lost pet report with local animal control and police. You can also report the incident through the Amazon app or website to document the event.
