Search for Tazzie Lee at JFK Intensifies as Port Authority Weighs Search Dog

The 4-year-old tuxedo cat vanished after a carrier malfunction on Dec. 20, with a looming move heightening her owner's urgency.

Overview

  • Tazzie Lee remains missing near JFK’s Terminal 4 nearly a month after escaping during a canceled Delta trip, according to recent coverage.
  • Coordinated searches continue with traps and motion cameras placed in pre- and post-security areas and on the tarmac with airport permission.
  • The Port Authority is considering a scent-tracking dog to aid the effort, while drones are barred in the restricted airspace.
  • Owner Ellen Russell is offering a $5,000 reward, returning to the airport several times a week and posting flyers as volunteers and staff amplify alerts on social media.
  • The public is urged not to approach the skittish cat and to report sightings to 347-256-4380.
