We have had an unusually large number of strays brought to us at Park Vets in Raynes Park recently. In some happy cases we were able to reunite them with their owners very speedily, because the animal had a microchip. Take the Strauss fammily, for example. Kasper, their Bengal cat, disappeared from their home in Raynes Park on Thursday, and they spent the weekend frantically looking for him.
On Monday, Kasper was brought into Park Vets by a caring passer-by, on who had noticed Kasper in his garden. Staff at Park Vets scanned the stray to check if he had a microchip, and luckily he had! It was then a simple matter to find his owners.
Mr John Strauss, Kasper’s owner said “After four days of worrying, we were finally reunited with our beautiful, beloved one year-old Bengal cat, Kasper. Having been through this several times in my life, I was absolutely overjoyed to see for myself what a difference it makes to have our pets micro-chipped.” The smiles on the faces of his children Willem and Kip say it all!
This gorgeous kitten was found wandering along Worple Road last week too, and brought in to Park Vets by one of our clients. Sadly this little fellow was not chipped, and we have never been able to find his owners - or was he dumped? Luckily one of our vets, Peter Lennox, has given him a home, but we can't rehome all the strays that come in!
Just yesterday a little Jack Russell was found running around in the road outside our home, and again, when scanned, was found to have no chip! It's such a simple process to have pets microchipped, that I don't understand why everyone doesn't do it.
