Question:
If one sleeps through the witr prayer and wakes up with the call to Fajr, when and how does he pray it?

Answer:
He prays it in the duha time, once the sun has risen, from its rising until it reaches the middle of the sky before Dhuhr. All of this is a time for making up the witr. However, he does not make it up as witr, but rather as a regular prayer. So if he usually prays witr with three rak'ahs, he prays four rak'ahs with one taslim. And if he usually prays witr with eleven rak'ahs, he prays twelve rak'ahs, two by two. Yes.
