Permanent Identification

All cats are required to have permanent traceable identification (such as a tattoo or microchip). Even indoor-only cats can escape, and permanent ID helps us reunite lost cats with their families. 

Microchips are implanted under the skin at the scruff of the neck, and can be scanned by any vet clinic or animal shelter. Keep the microchip registration information (such as your phone number and address) up-to-date to ensure a quick reunion!

Tattoos are done in the cat’s right ear. The vet clinic that did the tattoo keeps a registry of the pets and their owners. However, keep in mind that tattoos can become illegible, which would render them useless.

A GPS tag is a good back-up for cats who will wear a collar and who might escape or wander too far.
