Chip tip!
It is possible to have your cat chipped. A small microtransponder is inserted just under the skin of your cat. This chip contains a unique number, which is registered in the Dutch Database of Companion Animals (NDG). The number is linked to the owner's personal data. If a cat runs away, the owner can be found thanks to the chip. The chipping is done by the veterinarian.
