National Pet Register - 15 Oct 2003 19:18 GMT

There are numerous ways in which to "tag" your pet, including the microchip,
tattoos, id tags, etc. All of these are of no use in helping others find
and return your pet to you if your pet's collar is missing, or if the animal
shelter or vet is closed.

The National Pet Register enables you and your friends in the community to
help each other whenever a pet is lost, or found - reuniting pets with their
families.

Become a part of the "Missing Pet Alert" network - registration is FREE and
you can earn rewards for your good behavior, too. Register each of your
pets before they become lost - and help insure a prompt, safe return of your
family member.

A "chip" is the best bet...most vets/shelters have scanner. If a stray is
brought in, that stray should be automatically scanned. The person doing the
scanning, then, should go about tracing the number (scanned) to the company
storing the info...the person then should be contacted.

Chips are great, and I think every cat should be chipped...but the general
public who finds a cat with no collar isn't always going to take it in to be
scanned; they're more likely going to assume it's a stray. I think they should
wear a collar also. One problem we have run into recently is, sometimes when
people move, they fail to update the microchip registry. We call in to ID
chipped strays brouught in, and can't locate the owner because the information
isn't current.
