"Chipping" - a Permanent ID

Thousands of animals are lost every year because the people who find them have no way of reuniting the animal with its rightful owner. This problem could all but be eliminated if owners would simply "chip" their pets. The term "chip" is slang for microchip. A microchip is a small piece of material that allows for a unique identification number to be encrypted on it and read by electronic scanners. The chip is no bigger than a grain of rice and is inserted under the cats skin between the shoulder blades. Its no more discomforting than a vaccination
