My introduction to chipped pets:

I once adopted a cat from an NYSPCA truck in Brooklyn. two days later, she escaped from my apartment, never to be seen again. Or so I thought…

Six years later, a cat shelter in Queens contacted me asking me if I had lost a cat. I said that yes I had - once, long ago - is she OK? They said yes, she’s in great shape. I told her that she ran away six years ago, and they told me that she had clearly been well cared for all that time, and it seemed that she had only recently run away, probably in the last few days. Did I want her back?

I said no, she obviously hated me from the moment I adopted her, which is probably why she ran away two days later. Do you think she will be adopted quickly? They told me that, as we were speaking, two different families were already looking at her. I said that it was clear she was in better hands than mine, thanks for the call, and said goodbye.

(I got another cat the day after she ran away)
