Microchip Reunites a Cat with Her Owners After 5 Years

I came across this story in the New York Times and loved the underlying message it gave!

A cat, named Willow, was separated from her family near the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in late 2006. Her family searched for her, but in the end accepted that she might have been eaten by a coyote. Miraculously, Willow was found on Wednesday, September 14th, on a Manhattan street, more than 1,800 miles away from home!

A man found Willow on the street and took her to a shelter. Willow was micro chipped as a kitten and this is how she was reunited with her family after nearly 5 years of being gone.

This article relays how important it is to microchip your pets. Accidents happen and usually it’s when your pet doesn’t have their collar on. The microchip is the “invisible collar” and a great way to ensure your pet will be tracked back to you and your family.

So if you have not already, be sure to go to your local vets office and get your pet micro chipped. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
