B.C. Ferries does not allow passengers to stay inside vehicles on lower car decks, but does provide a space for people with dogs, and cats in crates.

“Luigi slipped out of a small window opening of his owner’s vehicle and disappeared on the lower car deck. Crew on board searched for Luigi with his family and he could not be located,” the B.C. Ferries statement read.

“If you or someone you know was travelling on the 10:15 a.m. sailing on Saturday, Aug. 9 from Duke Point to Tsawwassen on the Coastal Inspiration, please check your vehicles, trailers or boats for Luigi, a black and white tuxedo cat wearing a blue harness.”

If you have seen Luigi or know where he may be, call 250-720-9999.
