Microchipping is a safe and straightforward procedure that involves inserting a small chip under your kitten's skin. It's usually done when a kitten is around eight weeks old but can be discussed with your vet based on your kitten’s health and size. The chip contains a unique ID that is registered with a database, helping to reunite you with your kitten should she ever get lost.
