I would absolutely do it. I had Cali and Roxie done when they were put under for their spaying. Maya and Pixie who was 3 1/2lbs were chipped while awake and the vet said that neither of them even flinched. We just had a stray cat in our neighborhood that was super friendly and kept coming around. SOme of the neighbors were feeding it and it started staying on porches at night. So I gave then one of my dog carriers and they got him in it and I ran him to Banfield and they scanned him and he was chipped, registered to an animal shelter in Chicago (1 hour away). They were closed by the time we found out the number from AVID chip phone line so another neighbor kept him in his garage overnight. The next day we got a hold of the shelter and they said the cat had been adopted out to a family about 5 blocks from us but across a major street. They contacted them and they came and got him. They said they let him come and go but we haven't seen him since so I am hoping the shelter told them they couldn't let him out anymore. So chips do work! |
