Bella aka Midnight.

Bella was a very friendly young girl who was found in Orford, Warrington. She was an ordinary black cat, one of many we see every week. During our admissions procedure we check all our new arrivals for microchips and lucky for Bella her owner had taken the time to get her chipped. We contacted identichip and asked for her details, we discovered her real name was Midnight and got her owners details.

We rang the phone number supplied to us but it was disconnected. Luckily two numbers were registered and the other number was still in use so we left a message. The following morning Midnight's owner got in touch and came to pick her up straight away. They were so relieved to have found her. They informed us she went missing on the 15th April, over 7 months ago, in Ormskirk 20 miles away. They had looked everywhere and put up posters but had given up hope of finding her after so long. Without her microchip there’s no way they would have been reunited.

It is well worth the cost and effort to microchip your pets, but remember to keep the details up to date so you can be contacted if they are found.
