Air Canada is on the hunt for a Winnipeg-bound cat which went missing from a cargo area in Toronto during a connecting flight.
Riley McCann told CBC that after living in Montreal for five years, he boarded an Air Canada flight on Jan. 16 to move to his hometown of Winnipeg.
He was able to keep one cat, Vida, in the cabin with him and paid $105 to check the other feline — three-year-old tabby, Dewy — into Air Canada’s cargo area.
Dewy was MIA during the layover, he said.
“The employee [who] had been put in charge to walk his crate off the plane had set down the carrier, turned around for a moment, and when he looked back my cat was gone,” McCann told the CBC last week.
McCann told the outlet he wasn’t allowed to look for the animal in the warehouse because of security issues, but Air Canada later offered to fly him back to Toronto to help look for Dewy.
“I’m currently on day seven of a 14-day isolation from having to travel,” he said toCBC. “I was shocked. We’re in a global pandemic and suddenly it’s OK for me to hop back on a flight to Toronto? It seems like a blatant disregard for the health of myself and their employees.”
