A microchip only works if the details behind it are up to date.
Most cats in London are chipped. Far fewer have contact details that still match where their owner actually lives.
A change of address, a new phone number, a cat rehomed between family members: any of these can break the link between a found cat and the people looking for them.
Check the Chip Day today is a good prompt to spend five minutes on it. Contact the database your cat is registered with, confirm your name, address, phone number and email are current, and update anything that has changed.
If you are not sure whether your cat is chipped, or which database holds their details, we can scan and check for you.
