Last week we had a stray cat in. She was a lovely cat and really enjoyed being around us and kept wanting fuss and attention. From her behaviour it was obvious she had a home, but sadly no one came forward for her.
She will no doubt find another home, but had she been microchipped it would have been easy to reunite her with her owner. We can’t stress the importance of microchipping enough, for dogs its the law but for cats it’s just an option. We believe all pets should be chipped so they can find home. It can be particularly distressing when we need to make urgent contact with an owner when a pet has been involved in an accident.
Please consider microchipping and always remember to update your details when you move house/change phone numbers.
