This cat certainly has nine lives.
On Monday, BC Ferries announced that Luigi, who slipped out of a window opening in his owners’ vehicle on Aug. 9 during a sailing of the Coastal Inspiration from Duke Point to Tsawwassen, was found at the Tsawwassen terminal.
“Jeff Meier, a BC Ferries commercial services driver, confirmed a sighting of a black and white cat under a trailer at the terminal which prompted Karen Nixon from Halo’s Pet Rescue who has been leading the search for Luigi since he went missing, to come down to the terminal with her tracking dog, Halo,” said BC Ferries in a post on their Facebook page. “With the help of our crew, they did everything they could to lure him out from underneath the trailer while Neelya, Luigi's mom, made the trek from Vernon once she was informed that Luigi was spotted. Luigi was reluctant to show his face but once he heard Neelya's voice, however, he came out and the pair were happily reunited.
“Major shout-out to our BC Ferries crew that kept a vigilant eye out for Luigi and to Danny Lang, BCF Commercial Services Driver Lead, who left food out for him just in case he was around. Thank you to Karen and Halo who searched for Luigi both in Tsawwassen and Nanaimo for countless hours until he was found. We are beyond grateful for everyone's fruitful efforts to find Luigi and reunite him with his family.”
