Microchip

The kittens all went to the vets for chipping yesterday and did very well. The needle for the chip is rather large of course, larger than the vaccination needle, and quite uncomfortable for the kittens but they all coped splendidly.  So that's them sorted, chipped and registered!

I, or rather the vet, has registered the kittens directly to their new families. Apparently it can take up to a month for the paperwork to arrive, and actually I do seem to remember it taking a few weeks when I had mine done, but if they haven't arrived after that, please do let me know. You will be sent a certificate with your pet's chip number, plus a password. You can change the password, and change details like your contact phone number I believe free of charge- it's the transfer of ownership that costs.

I got their weights, too... hurrah! They will next be weighed at their second vaccination at 12 weeks, and this will be the last time they are weighed

  1. When Nimbus got his chip, his neck was so scrawny the chip popped out! They had to put another one in! At least yours have enough podge for it to go in.
