When we contacted the owner of this lost cat, she was SO elated and relieved to know her beloved boy, Tornado was alive and safe! She had been desperately looking for him since he wandered away from home last August. After seven months had passed and she had moved to a new home, she had given up hope of ever finding him. In the meantime, a kind person found Tornado and cared for him several months, but never reported him to the local shelters. When they could no longer care for him and turned him into our shelter, we immediately discovered his microchip and were able to contact the owner! The loud meows, purrs, hugs, and kisses brought happy tears to all who witnessed this heart warming reunion!
Happy reunions like this are becoming more common thanks to the power of a simple microchip! Still, with this very affordable solution readily available it is hard to understand why so many cats and dogs are turned into our shelter without identification that could easily reunite a lost pet with their owner. Check our website for lost and found support and clinic services and schedule to learn more about microchipping.
