CaRMaH Mobile Microchipping

Why Microchip? 

Each year millions of lost and abandoned animals are taken in by animal welfare organizations across North America, of these animals  4% of the cats (estimated figures) are ever returned home. The major reason for failing to re-unite a lost cat with its owner is because the cats are unidentifiable. Microchipping offers pet owners the only truly permanent method of identifying your catt and linking him back to you, the owner. If you want to improve your cat’s chances of getting home in a lost pet emergency – microchipping is your best option.

Does microchipping hurt my cat?

Animal microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are typically implanted just beneath the skin between the shoulder blades by a veterinarian or trained member of an animal welfare organization. The process is similar to a vaccination and most animals do not react when the microchip is implanted. Once implanted the microchip remains just beneath the skin for the rest of the animal’s lifetime, a permanent form of identification.
