Crime Updates in Las Vegas: Lost Feline Found inside Excalibur, Mandalay Bay Emergency Evacuation
A feline, sporting a gray and black coat, spent six sleepy nights in a room at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino after going missing. The heartwarming story made headlines following a TikTok video that garnered over a million views.
The cat's owners had visited the Sin City hotel last month with their pet and thought he had scampered off from their room. Worried, they left the hotel, leaving their cherished pet behind.
New guests, Lindsey and Arthur Sanders, checked into the same room a few days later. At around 4 a.m., they were startled by weird noises coming from their quarters. Upon investigation, they stumbled upon the feline. Friendly as can be, he let Lindsey stroke his fur. The pair promptly alerted security.
It's a good thing the cat crossed paths with the Sanders. Lindsey is a vet from California, and her husband is too. They were in Vegas for a veterinary conference.
When the security guards arrived, the cat darted towards his secret spot—a tiny nook beneath the bathroom sink. The guards had to disassemble it to help Arthur rescue the kitty.
Without food for six whole days, the cat was rather quiet before his discovery. There were only a few clues about his presence—an empty Vitamin E bottle found on the bathroom floor and some urine in the shower.
Eventually, animal control officers arrived, rescued the cat, and kept him safe until his owners could arrange for his return. The owners and their pet have since been reunited.
"This had a bittersweet ending," Lindsey said in the video. "He wasn’t simply thrown out, and he wasn't sent to the pound."
