Chubbs found 260 miles away from home

Pets name: Chubbs

Area: Dorset

Chubbs's story:

Chubbs was taken from his home in Dorset back in 2011. Like most cats, Chubbs was regarded as being like a child to the keeper. Consequently, when he went missing the keepers were devastated. Even after 11 years, the keeper was unable to stop thinking about him. However, the keeper received a surprising email informing them that Chubbs had been found 260 miles away in Ashton. A lady who had seen Chubbs before had noticed he was in poor condition, so she decided to take him to the vet.

The microchip implanted in Chubbs allowed the vet to get in contact with the keeper so he could be returned. Despite the distances involved, the microchip made reunification an effortless process, allowing Chubbs to return to his family home. He is gradually getting better under the care of his keeper who was overjoyed to be reunited.
