Cats Protection supports National Microchipping Month

Microchipping offers cats a safe and permanent method of identification and increases the chances of a lost feline being safely reunited with its owner. A small microchip is inserted under the cats skin between it's shoulder blades.

Every year, Cats Protection helps nearly 5,000 cats to find their way home.

Cats Protection's practice of scanning every cat that comes into its care, coupled with our lost and found registers and the useful information our staff and volunteers provide to those whose cat has gone missing, all help to improve the chances of a pet and owner being successfully reunited.

Microchipping can only be fully effective if owners keep their pet's registration details up-to-date.

Most Cats Protection Adoption Centres and Branches operate lost and found registers to assist those who are concerned about a stray or lost cat, or whose cat has disappeared.
Microchipping can be done by a vet or other specially trained personnel. A microchip is very small and is simply inserted under the cat's skin between its shoulder blades. The insertion procedure is no more painful than an injection. Microchips can migrate to other locations under the skin therefore it is important that a cat is scanned all over when checking for a chip. It is also a good idea to have a vet or other trained person scan any recently acquired felines, or cats that are presumed to be lost or strays, to double-check that they don't already have a chip.
