Remember the story of the microchipped cat!
Well here is the full story

The cat came back the very next … well, nearly a decade actually.

After vanishing eight years ago from her Montreal home, Indie the cat was reunited with her humans this week after turning up at the Ottawa Humane Society.

“A microchip gives your pet a ticket home,” the OHS said on Instagram. Their staff was able to scan Indie’s microchip and contact her family, who told them she’d slipped out of their house eight years ago.

Four years after her disappearance, and probably not directly related to it, Montreal issued a bylaw requiring all cats and dogs be microchipped. A microchip — about the size of a grain of rice — is injected below the animal’s skin and can be scanned by most veterinarians and shelters. It connects with the contact information of the pet’s family, which can be updated as needed.

Indie was found on Miikana Rd. in Ottawa and was in fairly good shape — and friendly — when she arrived at the shelter, Stephen Smith of the OHS told the Gazette.

Indie was unavailable for comment on how she got to Ottawa or what she’s been up to all these years.

Indie was brought to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray last week, and her family located her thanks to a microchip.

This is why microchipping your pets is so important.

This beautiful kitty went missing 7 years ago.
A family left with no answers as to where she went just went missing ( indoor cat, that got out unknown to the family)
Well the owners just got a call from the SPCA in Ottawa that their kitty was found.
7 years later and from Montreal west Island to Ottawa.
How she got there is unknown but thanks to this little investment she will be reunited Friday with her owner!

If your looking for a recommendation on the purrfect brush for your medium to long hair cat.
Well I have it , this brush good for cats and dogs best suited for medium to long hair.

Features a close and wide comb to help with knitting and removing a fvtye undercoat of your pet with little effort.

I personally find compared to brushes like the furminator ( good for short hair ) this will not tug as forcefully at knots and helps prevent future matting with regular use.

Remember not all brushes are universal for all fur lengths on our fur babies ❤️

DUAL-SIDED TEETH DESIGN: NursCare professional grooming brush for long-haired dogs and cats will even provide these benefits without causing your pet any discomfort at all. Using the 9-teeth is perfect to tackle stubborn mats and tangles and the 17-teeth is perfect to thin out and deshed your pet...
