Before Easter Inspector Davidson rescued a cat from High Wycombe, and kept it until we found the owner - as the cat was thankfully microchipped.

New Lost & Found Listing Service... PDF Print E-mail

We have teamed up with 'Animal Finders' to provide the most up to date listings for lost and found animals in Oxfordshire.  This free service is to help lost, stolen or found pets such as dogs, cats and ferrets, plus horses and all sorts of other animals in our area.

When animals are reported to 'Animal Finders' - they notify the local vets, wardens, shelters and rescue organisations in the local area. They call this their Offical Alert Network. They also distribute reports to members of their Local Pet Watch scheme, on the ground in the area.

This is a brand new service which is being trialed in Oxfordshire for the first few months.  The service will be available nationwide in 2010.  The site is currently in beta testing mode, so you may find a few featured disabled.

So if you have lost or found an animal in or around Oxfordshire check out our Lost & Found page now...
