Dave's story:
The Christmas period is supposed to be a relaxing time to unwind with friends, family and pets. This supposedly relaxing time became a bit of a nightmare for Dave's keepers when he suddenly went missing from their home. The whole family were upset at the thought that Dave may not be home with them for Christmas and would instead be lost outside somewhere. They marked Dave as missing on Petlog and sent out emails to try and find their cat.
Fortunately, in this case Dave managed to find his way home after seven days and didn't have any injuries. He most likely wandered slightly too far but eventually found his way back. Either way, the keepers were overjoyed to have him back home safe and sound. They believe that sometimes a bit of patience in the early stages can help, as your cat may be able to find their own way back.
Keep your details up to date
We offer a Petlog Premium package for a one-off fee of £19.95. This allows the pet keeper to update their records as many times as is needed throughout the lifetime of their pet – that would be less than £2 per year. We don’t believe this is too much to pay for the peace of mind of knowing a pet is far more likely to be returned home if it went missing.
Microchipping will be a legal requirement for cats in England from 10 June 2024 and owners must register and keep contact details up to date on a microchipping database. If your cat is registered with Petlog, please check your details are up to date now.
If you haven’t created an online account with us since our March 2021 website upgrade, please do this before 10 June 2024.
