🐾 Microchipping: A Lifelong Safety Net for Your Cat
Your cat might be tiny, but their curiosity is larger than life. Whether they sneak out during a grocery delivery or wander off on an unexpected adventure, a microchip gives them a permanent ID and gives you peace of mind knowing they always have a way back home.
🐾 What Is a Microchip?
A microchip is a tiny, rice-sized device placed just beneath your cat’s skin—between the shoulder blades. It holds a unique ID number tied to your contact info in a secure national database. If your cat is ever lost, veterinarians or shelters can scan that number and contact you right away.
No GPS, no batteries—just a simple way to turn a runaway into a reunion.
🐾 Why We Use HomeAgain TempScan Microchips
- Fur-mometer Functionality – These chips also give us an internal body temperature reading during exams. That’s right—no more indignity of the rear-end thermometer.
- Stays Put – Bio-Bond coating keeps the chip from shifting around under the skin, so it’s easier to scan.
- Lifetime Registration – Once you’re in, you’re in. No yearly fees.
- 24/7 Lost Pet Recovery Support – HomeAgain’s national network helps make happy reunions happen every day.
🐾 Our Microchipping Protocol: Cat Comfort Comes First
- We Use a Light Sedative – That needle is bigger than a vaccine needle, and we know cats don’t love surprises. A mild sedative ensures a stress-free experience.
- Day Stay Required – If microchipping is the only thing we’re doing, your kitty will hang with us for the day so we can monitor and keep them comfy.
- Perfect During Spay/Neuter – Already under anesthesia? That’s the purr-fect time to add a chip—quick and seamless.
🐾 Why It’s Worth It
- Collar tags can break. Microchips don’t.
- Lost cats with chips are way more likely to be returned home.
- With TempScan, we add comfort to every future exam.
- It’s one tiny chip with a whole lot of protection.
