Happy Endings start with a Microchip!

Zeus is thankful for his HomeAgain Microchip!

Zeus is reunited!  He traveled from Eagan to Shakopee
over the last 8 months!

One of our long time clients found a beautiful gray cat hanging around the horse barn she visits in Shakopee. This cat was wearing a collar that had gotten too tight and the cat appeared to very hungry and in need of some good 'ole human companionship. So she took the cat home, took the tight collar off and offered some food to this cat who was very grateful and began to eat right away. The next day she called us and scheduled an appointment to get the cat checked out and to find out if perhaps the cat had been spayed or neutered - not an easy thing to try and figure out on a long haired cat like this.  When Diane told us that this cat was a stray, the first thing we did was to scan it for a microchip. We were ecstatic to find out that this cat did indeed have a microchip - some family must be sick with worry about where there beloved kitty was!  Erin was able to obtain the owners information and called right away but she only got a voice mail message on the other end.  In the middle of leaving a message a man picked up on the line and frantically asked her to repeat the information she was leaving. He was so excited!  This indeed was their cat and he had been missing since last July - over 8 months ago he had slipped away accidentally and their family had been heartbroken ever since.  Many times they had discussed getting another cat but in the end they always held out hope that somehow they would find Zeus again. Shortly after Erin hung up the phone a little girl called and asked "Is it true that you found my kitty?"  Erin said, "We sure did!" and smiled as she listened to the celebration that was going on in the background! We gave Zeus a nice warm place to sleep, fresh water, a fresh litter box and a hearty meal and rested comfortably overnight with us. The next morning at 7:00 a.m. the owner was waiting at our door and was so very happy to be reunited with Zeus!  Yes there is a moral to this story - microchip your pet!  This family never thought they would lose their cat, they are so grateful for the microchip!  It takes just moments to implant a microchip - the pet thinks it is another vaccine. We are hear to help you if you make the decision to get your pet a microchip!
