Microchip helps lost cat in Hawaii reunite with Michigan family

Microchip helps lost cat in Hawaii reunite with Michigan family

For the past 19 months, a family that used to live in Hawaii thought their cat, Bogie, was gone forever.

That is, until they recently got a call that Bogie was found.

“I found Bogie about six or eight months ago. There’s a number of cats I manage on Ualena Street near the Honolulu airport. Bogie started showing up periodically,” said Bill Antilla.

Antilla volunteers his time feeding stray cats with Hawaii CatFriends, a nonprofit group that spays and neuters feral cats on Oahu.

Three nights a week, Antilla feeds a colony of stray cats on Ualena Street. Bogie, a Siamese cat, caught his eye.

“He looked like a purebred Siamese cat,” said Antilla, a breed much different from typical feral cats found on Oahu.

Antilla says the Siamese cat was friendlier than most feral cats, so he borrowed a microchip scanner to check. Sure enough, the friendly stray was microchipped.

lose your cat just added insult to injury! Kitteh will go through climate shock around the end of October. Glad Bogie is back with people who love him, and bravo to his rescuer!

especially when I heard about some horrible ones this week. I despise people who are mean toward animals.

I have wondered about that quite a lot, and it makes me feel a lot better toward them now.

Welcome to D.U., Gonzalo.
