I'm not sure of the exact year. But I think it was within the last 10 or so years. If you baby was chipped they should have info it. Good luck.
The one I have for my 3 yr old is free. I don't recall filling any papers out for my old cat but never left before. A yr ago I was contacted by them with a dog that disappeared from my yard 8 yrs ago. We searched for mths, put up fliers etc. The person who had him says the found him , anyhow 8 yrs later they brought him back to tri city and called us up. Now that's a true. Buster
I really don't know when they started micro chipping their animals. Maybe call them as soon as they open. Sure hope your cat comes home.
You can call the shelter they should have a record. If you still have the adoption papers... it would be on there. You can look Tri-city animal shelter up and they should be able to tell what which chipping service they used. Or call the different chipping companies they can look and see as well. But if you have not paid in yrs you need to update your information with them anyway
