Dudley is microchipped, and came to us that way. I believe it was part of the adoption agreement at the shelter he came from, or my mother-in-law just decided it would be a good idea. He also wears a collar with a tag on it, in case the average Joe in the neighborhood finds him and can call us, rather than having to take him somewhere where they have a microchip reader.

Little Sammy will be microchipped at the same time as his neutering, and he will also have a collar with a tag. We use the breakaway safety collars for both. They are strictly indoor kitties, but are always hovering around the doors looking to make a break for it . I would be devastated if I lost either one of them, so I opt for the extra security of the microchips.
