Smaller than a grain of rice, the microchip I.D. is painlessly injected between a cat's shoulder blades. This lifesaving ordinance is designed to reduce cat overpopulation and return lost cats to their families as quickly as possible. Anyone cited under the ordinance who cannot afford to sterilize their cats will be eligible for free or low-cost sterilization and microchipping from the Marin Humane Society. The shelter is located at 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd. 262 for upcoming clinics.
Financial assistance is available.
