Whether your cat is an indoor cat or an outdoor cat, there are times when she can slip outside and get lost. The faster way to get your cat back quickly is to make sure she has identification on her at all times. A breakaway collar with an identification tag provides your contact information to anyone who finds your cat. The breakaway feature makes it that the collar will come off rather than strangle your cat if she gets caught on a branch or other permanent item. A collar also is a clear indicate that your cat is a pet and not a stray. Consider getting your cat microchipped. A microchip is inserted under the skin and when scanned, it provides a number that leads to your contact information so your cat can be returned to you. A combination of both of these forms of identification works best for most families. For more information, contact your Marietta, GA veterinarian.
