Poor Kitty...

Even though my neighbor wasn't being malicious, the result was the same. Kuhio was put to sleep at the shelter before we found evidence that she was there (the shelter denied they had her the day before she was put to sleep -- even though my husband searched where he was told to search -- they had her in a secluded room.

Everyone! Please microchip your pets. The chances of being reunited are so much greater if they are chipped. And if your baby ever escapes the house or yard go to every shelter in your area and fill out a lost pet form. Bring photos to leave there. And tear the shelter apart. Look in every room. Cats are sometimes found with dogs. Demand to look in the clinic. That's where Kuhio was being kept. We didn't even know that room existed and were not directed to search that room.

That's so sad. Poor Kuhio. RIP Kuhio. You made a very good point about micro-chipping.

I IMMEDIATELY thought of Kuhio when I read that story. I hope that neighbor gets the book thrown at him. Piece of garbage!!!

The chip only works if the vets or shelters even care to check.. I got the chip for Max & look what happened to him! He was brought intot he vet & PTS without my permission!! The distance between the vets office & where I lived was 70-80km!!!

I was scolded by the vets office because I didn't tell them he was chipped! Ya like I'm able to call all the vets in Canada to let them know I chipped my dog

It was a very dark time for me. Ask the old timers on here (old as in old members), ya I got pretty darn nasty to the point everyone hated me & I had to leave PT for a couple years (tried to come back a few times, but I was still pretty nasty so I had to leave again)... I've been ok for about a good year now (had 2yrs of living hell), I try really hard to behave.

I read that article in my newspaper the other day. I was saddened AND angry, simultaneously. How awful. No matter what their dispute, to take the life of an animal is reprehensible.

I believe I read somewhere that microchipping is not yet universal, so a shelter or vet clinic could scan a pet and if their scanning device did not happen to match the manufacturer of the chip imbedded, it would not register. If this is true, some law needs to be passed so that all microchips and scanners can recognize each other and are compatible, or else . . . what is the point???!
