    Avery Humane Society December 14 at 9:19 PM This is why microchipping your pets matters.
  • 03
    Yesterday, a sweet cat was brought to us as a stray. When we scanned her, we discovered she had a microchip. With a little digging, we learned she had gone missing after Hurricane Helene - 443 days ago.

    Today, after all that time, she is finally back where she belongs — reunited with her family.

    Microchips are more than just a number; they are a lifeline. In times of chaos, natural disasters, or even everyday accidents, they can be the one thing that brings a lost pet home. But a microchip only works if the information attached to it is kept up to date.

    Please take a moment to check your pet's microchip registration and make sure your contact information is current. That small step can make the difference between heartbreak and a happy reunion.

    After 443 days apart, this family got their miracle — and it all started with a microchip. CONGRATULATIONS! Kieran (Gabby)
