How do I know who gets the information from my cat’s microchip? - Blue Oasis Pet Hospital
The information from your cat's microchip works in the following way: First, the microchip is sold to the pet hospital or rescue shelter that purchases these microchips. Once we implant the microchip into your cat, we provide you with information, either in the form of a brochure or by assisting you in visiting a website to upload the microchip number. This number is a unique identifier for the microchip we implanted, consisting of sixteen digits. You then enter your information into a database, which typically includes just your name, address, and phone number. This simple process allows you to associate your information with the microchip so you can be reunited with your cat if needed.
