Eons ago when the cats were first chipped, they were on the AKC database. I have not done this in a bit, but I did call the AKC number and the cats were still on file with them, and if their number was called, they would be able to give the needed info. However, I do not think the newer cats are in there. A BIG worry. Phred is so correct, this is just a BIG ripoff!!!
