Lost and hopefully found

I spoke to someone this week who had been looking after a stray cat for six months. Due to her ill health she knew she would have to find it a new home but it was not until she got in touch with a rescue that anyone suggested that it might be microchipped.

The first thing the rescue did was to scan the cat and of course it was chipped, and they discovered that it had been away from home for three years. We know it was a lucky cat when it found the house of our friend who nursed it back to good health but where had it been in the previous two and half years certainly not with anyone who knew about microchipping.

I suppose what I am trying to say is that microchipping is a very good idea but only if the general public know that a cat they suspect might be stray can be scanned by vet or animal charities and with luck returned to its owners. So cat lovers spread the word.

About Kats & Kits:

Kats & Kits is a long established cat sanctuary based in the depth of the UK's mystical Wiltshire countryside, on the edge of Salisbury Plain, near the white horses of Alton Barnes and Westbury.

Run by a small dedicated team we aim to provide a home to rescued cats where re-homing is not a viable option.

This blog documents the daily challenges the group has overcome since 1994 to provide care and shelter for abandonded, stray and unwanted cats.
