How to Report a Cat Lost Using Its Microchip

A correct database record can help if someone scans the cat. Identify the database, report the cat missing where available and check that your contact details are current.

Do more than update the database

A microchip is an identification tool, not a GPS tracker. Continue local searching and contact vets, rescues and other appropriate local services.

PetChipHelp is an independent guidance service. We can help identify the database and explain the process, but official microchip records are changed by the database provider that holds the registration.

Have the microchip number?

Check which database appears to hold the record, then go straight to the right provider.
