Microchip implantation is quick, simple, inexpensive, essentially painless, and virtually stress-free for animals. A microchip is a permanent ID tag, can last a cat’s full lifespan, and can help reunite lost cats with their families or community cat colony.
What is a microchip? Tiny technology, smaller than a grain of rice, that is implanted just under the animal’s skin between the shoulder blades. It’s a permanent ID with a unique number that corresponds with contact information in a microchip registry.
How does it work? Shelter staff implants a microchip under the animal’s skin through a quick injection, like a routine vaccination. No anesthetic is required. The whole process takes about five minutes.
Cats with microchips are over 20 times more likely to be reunited with their families than those without microchips.
