March 23, 2017We went to Cat Camp NYC
March 27, 2017“The microchip is the silent voice for the animal.”
In part two, Stacy and Cheryl Ann dive into the complexities of microchipping once microchips have been placed—how do you scan a newly-trapped feral cat? What are best practices for animal control officers when recovering an animal afield whose microchip turns out to be a dead end? Cheryl Ann also argues for microchipping in colonies—the little chips can store information about vaccinations and other medical history, thus reducing blind precautionary measures.
Don’t forget that August 15th is Check Your Chip Day!
