I just signed a petition on change.org that a cat guardian started, to prompt the state of Massachussetts to routinely scan cats for microchips. Apparently, this cat mom lost her fur baby and while searching for him, was informed by her local animal control that they don't bother scanning cats for microchips--only dogs.
Is that really common?
Before chipping my cats, I called my Humane Society and they said that all animals who come in are routinely scanned, whether they are cats or dogs. It makes me sick to think that in some area, animal control could just euthanize cats without bothering to check for a chip.
