You may think that you will never lose your cat...you may think that it will always return to you safely... please think again.
The Cats Protection charity alone re-homes 75,000 cats each year. Many of these are strays with no identification; either the cat has lost its collar or did not have one in the first place. Often it is an impossible task to trace the owner.
Tens of thousands of owners each year wait in vain for the return of their lost cat. Make sure your cat is permanently identified by asking the vet about microchip implants.
The microchip is placed by a simple inexpensive injection. Each microchip has a unique number which, when your cat is scanned, will be revealed. A quick telephone call to the centralised computer, available 24 hours a day, will result in you being contacted and told of the whereabouts of your cat. Your pet will be returned to your safe care very quickly.
All vets, cat rescue societies, (for example the CPL and RSPCA) have microchip scanners and all road traffic accident victims and strays are routinely checked for microchips. Help us to keep you and your cat together, book your cat in for microchipping today.
