While it is important for all cats to receive regular veterinary care and to be microchipped, the CHIP YOUR CAT program was conceived and designed to help positively affect the lives of the estimated 1 million cats in the Denver metro area. Because CHIP YOUR CAT is a partnership between the Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society, the Dumb Friends League, and participating members of the Metro Denver Shelter Alliance, the program is limited to cats owned by residents of the six-county Denver metro area. However, many shelters and veterinarians can microchip your cat for a reasonable price.
