Description

My sweet girl Wanda was lost 05/25/2026 at Dockweiler RV Park, and possibly seen 05/31 - 06/02/2026 in El Segundo near Oak Ave in a backyard. We have lived in Westchester for almost 3 years, so she could possibly be on her way back here. The white cat we tracked in Westchester is actually a male and will be trapped and fixed soon. Wanda has strong survival instincts and has likely reverted back to her street cat nature like she had when I first rescued her in 2020. I'm staying positive and continuing the search, so any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Message from Owner

Wanda and I just started going camping, and I had a cat door installed but I messed up the programming. I believe she went out between 4 - 5 AM Monday May 25th without the ability to come back in due to my lack of diligence. She is an ex-street cat with strong survival instincts but it has been 2 nights now. I'm really hoping coyotes did not get her. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.

06/07/26 Evening Update: Hi all, unfortunately it seems as if the doppleganger stray in Westchester has been appearing since before Wanda went missing on May 25th. We're still planning to trap and possibly fix this little kitty after a more concrete feeding schedule is established. I'm not giving up hope that this cat Wanda however, she looks so similar and has so many of the same mannerisms. For the time being it seems like she is safe. In the meantime I will be continuing my search as if all previous sightings of Wanda were questionable. Here are photos of the stray I still hope (but not likely) is Wanda from today. Trying to stay positive and diligent to keep the search going!
