Lexington, KY, November 5, 2026 —

Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control is currently housing two distinct animals that were found without their owners and is appealing to the public for help in reuniting them with their families. The agency is seeking information regarding a lost snake and a lost tortoise.

Details about the specific species, breeds, or any distinguishing characteristics of the snake and the tortoise were not immediately available. The circumstances under which each animal was found, including the date and general location, have not been publicly disclosed by the shelter. Information regarding any medical condition, temperament, or specific needs of the animals is also pending.

The Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control typically manages a variety of stray animals within the Lexington-Fayette urban county. When an animal is brought into their care without identification, the shelter’s protocol often involves attempting to locate the owner through microchip scans, checking for visible tags, and public outreach. For exotic or less common pets like snakes and tortoises, the process can sometimes be more challenging due to the lack of widespread identification methods compared to domestic animals like dogs and cats.

The shelter encourages individuals who may have lost a snake or a tortoise, or who might have information about the owners of these particular animals, to contact Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control directly. Without additional details provided by the shelter, specific identification procedures or timelines for the animals’ care are not yet public. The primary goal remains the safe return of these pets to their rightful owners. Further updates are expected as efforts to identify the owners continue.
