🐾❤️ COOKIE’S STORY: A TINY MICROCHIP, A VERY BIG REUNION ❤️🐾
Sometimes, the smallest things can make the biggest difference. 🥹🐾
Meet beautiful Cookie. 🐱❤️
One day, Cookie disappeared from her home in Te Atatū, West Auckland.
For a month and a half, her family searched and hoped she would come home. Her owner, Jean, and his daughter never gave up looking for her. Every day without Cookie must have felt a little longer, but they continued searching and hoping. 💔
Then, something incredible happened…
Cookie was found all the way in Botany, miles away from home. 🥺
A kind-hearted lady named Tina found her and brought her into our clinic, wanting to see if she had a family.
We scanned Cookie for a microchip…
And there it was. ❤️
Cookie was microchipped, and thankfully, her microchip was registered on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR).
That tiny chip gave us the information we needed to find her family.
We contacted Jean and told him the news he had been waiting a month and a half to hear:
“We found Cookie.” 🥹❤️
Jean and his daughter came straight to the clinic to collect her.
And when Cookie finally saw her family again… there were tears of happiness, hugs, and a beautiful reunion. 🐾❤️🏡
After being so far from home, Cookie was finally going home. ❤️
This is why microchipping matters.
🔹 A collar can fall off.
🔹 A tag can be lost.
🔹 A pet can travel much farther than you ever imagine.
🔹 But a registered microchip can help connect a lost pet back to the people who love them.
Cookie’s story could have ended very differently. But because she had a registered microchip, and because Tina took the time to bring her to a vet clinic, Cookie found her way back to her family. 🥰
One tiny chip. One phone call. One very happy family. ❤️
If your pet is microchipped, please take a moment to check that their details are registered with New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR) and up to date.
And if you ever find a lost pet, please take them to your local vet clinic or animal shelter to have them scanned. You could be helping someone’s beloved family member find their way home. 🐾
Welcome home, Cookie. 🏡❤️🐱
And a huge thank you to Tina for helping Cookie get home. 🙏❤️
Some stories have the happiest endings.
This is one of them. 🥹🐾❤️
