Hi All!
The Ohio State Vet school study recently found cats entering shelters with a microchip were 21 times more likely to return home than other strays (39% vs. 2%).
The main reasons that owners weren’t found included
- incorrect or disconnected phone numbers (35 percent)
- unregistered microchips (10 percent) and/or untraceable microchips (17 percent chips don’t scan/don’t connect).
Kittentanz guarantees your kitty’s return home from a shelter by chipping each of our kittens, scanning confirming traceability of these high quality HomeAgain TempScan chips, registering these chips to our client as the owner, and registering Kittentanz as the breeder, providing a second point of contact in case your phone number changes.
Kittentanz also recommends having chips checked at vet visits to confirm still functional and using breakaway collars with ID tags because your neighbors don’t have a microchip scanner!
Here at Kittentanz, we try all we can to make sure you have “The Best Cat Ever!”
