Cat Microchipping in Rocklin, CA
Why Microchip Your Cat?
A microchip is a small, rice-sized device implanted just beneath your cat’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. Unlike collars or tags, which can be lost or removed, a cat microchip offers a permanent and dependable way to identify your pet. Microchipping is especially beneficial for outdoor cats, cats prone to slipping outside, or those traveling with their families.
Key Benefits of Cat Microchipping:
- Permanent Identification: Provides a long-lasting form of identification that can’t be lost or removed.
- Worldwide Registry: Each cat microchip is linked to a secure, international database, increasing the chances of finding your cat, even far from home.
- Quick and Simple Process: Microchipping is a quick procedure that causes minimal discomfort and does not require anesthesia.
How Cat Microchipping Works
Each cat microchip contains a unique identification number linked to a database that includes your contact information. If your cat is found and brought to a shelter or veterinary clinic, the staff can scan the microchip to retrieve the identification number and access your contact details in the database. This helps facilitate a quick reunion if your cat is ever lost.
The microchipping procedure is brief and can be completed during a routine visit. Our team uses a small needle to implant the microchip just beneath the skin, causing minimal discomfort. This quick and safe procedure typically does not require anesthesia, making it suitable for cats of all ages. After implantation, the microchip remains functional for the lifetime of your cat.
When to Microchip Your Cat
Microchipping is recommended for all cats, regardless of whether they primarily live indoors or outdoors. Even indoor cats can slip outside and become lost. Kittens can be microchipped during their early wellness visits, and older cats can receive a microchip at any time. If your cat isn’t yet microchipped, consider doing it at your next visit to Cats Only Veterinary Hospital.
