Lost and Found Success Stories
Don’t just trust our word for it, have a read through some of the success stories to see how Tracer Advance has led to the happy reunification of many owners with their pets.
I moved to Newbury in June 2007 and brought down my two seven year old brother and sister cats. I chose to live out in the sticks to keep them safe on the roads as they didn't have much road sense. We then had the floods in July and, during one night of heavy rain, my male ginger cat Jasper disappeared.
I tried to look for him in a two mile radius and put up pictures but heard nothing for four weeks. Then one Sunday, I had a call from a local vet practice who said that Jasper had been brought in by someone who thought he might have been micro-chipped, which he was. (it is a Bayer microchip). The people who returned him had seen him at their house which is four miles cross country from me. They initially saw him about one week after he went missing -their male cat had let my cat eat its food which was very unusual; that's why they noticed Jasper. They then went on holiday for two weeks and when they came back they had a BBQ and Jasper re-appeared, begging and looking considerably more emaciated. They then asked all locals if he belonged to them and they all said they had seen him around, but to leave him alone as he would find his own way back (which obviously he wouldn't have done since he had already had three weeks to do so!).
As their own cat was chipped, they decided to take Jasper to the vets to see if they could find his owner - this was very fortunate for me as by then I never expected to see him again. I brought him back home and the ungrateful cat sat in the window trying his best to get out and his sister was unimpressed by her brother's return!
Anyway, he eventually settled down again and became a bit of a 'Garfield' - his experience had obviously had some impact on him as he never goes that far and is now a bit more of an observer rather than an explorer!
