After 15 months missing, lovely Socks has finally been reunited with his family 💙
Socks was found all the way in Winterbourne and brought into a veterinary practice, where he was identified thanks to his microchip. He had travelled such a long way, and without a chip it would have been almost impossible to get him safely back home.
Stories like this are such an important reminder of why microchipping matters. Since June 2024, it is now a legal requirement for cats over 20 weeks old in England to be microchipped and have up-to-date contact details.
Please make sure your pet’s microchip details are registered correctly and kept updated if you move house or change phone number, it really can make all the difference 🐾
