We agree - this is why microchipping your cats matters. Even if they are indoor cats, if you are able to afford it, we believe that you should do it. You never know when a tragedy might strike. A hurricane, a fire, an earthquake, the cat escaping, running away without you noticing. Microchipping might not be the purrfect answer, but it's so much better than nothing. At least, if your cat makes it and someone finds it, they will know how to return it to you.

We completely agree that this is a miracle. After such a long time - more than year - of the cat being gone, we think we would have lost hope. The fact that this family kept the information on the microchip updated for so long is a miracle in and of itself. So many things had to line up for this reunion to happen, and if that is not a Christmas miracle, then really, we don't know what is.

After 443 days apart, a cat lost in Hurricane Helene finally reunites with family, just in time for Christmas: 'This is why microchipping your pets matters'
Christmas miracles happen every year in the cat world. And they really are miracles. They deserve that title. How else do you explain a 13-year-old cat reuniting with its owner after 9 years apart just in time for Christmas or someone finding a frozen kitten and reuniting it with its family literally on Christmas Eve? And how about a story like today - just in time for Christmas, a cat that was for over 400 days got reunited with its family. We think these are miracles. We're sure that the families who experience these things definitely believe they are miraculous moments.
Of course, you can say that these things could have happened any day. Any other day of the year, this cat could have been found, brought to the shelter, and scanned for a microchip. And maybe that is true, but it did not happen on just any day. It happened during the holidays, when it's cold outside, when the kitty most likely needed more help than ever, and just in time for it to come back home to colorful lights and shiny toys and the glint of a new year and a new hope in front of its eyes.
