Microchip lets officials return cat that was missing 10 years
Associated Press May 4, 2006 SACRAMENTO (AP) - Sneakers the cat is being reunited with his owner, 10 years and hundreds of miles away from where he disappeared in 1996. The long-haired black cat was given to Sacramento's Animal Care Services last week, where an employee scanned him for a microchip, a routine procedure. The number on the chip was used to track down Allison MacEwan of Seattle, who said she placed newspaper ads and went door-to-door with fliers in a futile search for her lost cat a decade ago. Officials on Wednesday said they aren't sure how the cat wound up in Sacramento. MacEwan's daughter was 4 years old when her cat disappeared, and officials said she is now looking forward to being reunited with her childhood pet. Sacramento is about 750 miles south of Seattle. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Unless he was very young when he disappeared, he'll be quite old now. I would be sad that I'd missed out on all those years together. Sorry to be negative. Maybe it's my mood today. The people sound like they're pretty happy about it. Joyce |

Joyce It wouldn't surprise me that he was adopted for ten years and maybe got out, it's possible another slave is now missing him. :-( My thoughts, as well - cat got out from original home, someone else "found' him and kept him, never had him scanned for microchip, moved (with cat) to Sacramento. Cat escapes from home in Sacramento, is picked up by ACC, scanned and his Seattle owners name comes up on the microchip's info. |

I microchipped Persia after she ran out the door a month after she acquired me. The first thing the vet did when I took her in for a check up and shots was scan her for a microchip. Who could have let this gorgeous cat run loose? But whoever it was didn't chip her. I did. I also have a collar tag on her and it states she's been chipped. Jill |
