Microchip Reunites Raymore Cat Missing 11 Months With Owner

A Kansas City pet resource center now offers a free public microchip scanner to help neighbors return pets directly to families.

Overview

  • Officers in Raymore retrieved a stray reported by a passerby and confirmed the cat’s identity by scanning a microchip.
  • The registry data linked to the chip was current, allowing immediate contact with the owner.
  • The cat, Harriet, had been missing for 11 months before the reunion.
