Adding A Forum
I’m thinking of adding a discussion forum to Fluffy Net. I get quite a few people asking about how to start up no-kill shelters, how best to help and some people asking what they should do with their pet in difficult situations.
Since I just run this directory, and do not have any experience running a shelter, I thought setting up a forum where people could help people with these types of things would be useful.
If you’re interested in seeing a forum on this site, please comment on this post. If enough people are interested, I will add one. Thanks!

Pet Microchip And The Importance of Updating Your Info!
Here is a very personal story about the importance of updating your pet microchip info! I just moved in to where I live about 4 months ago. A couple of weeks ago I checked my mail, and opened a letter I received. I hadn’t checked the front of the envelope that well and just assumed this letter was for me. It turns out the letter was for a prior resident.
It was from the King County Animal Shelter saying that her cat had been impounded. It told where the cat was picked up, how long they had held it, and how long it would be held before being assessed for adoption or possibly “humanely destroyed.” (It was later explained to me by the shelter that the cat would only be destroyed if it were sick or otherwise not suitable for placement – not because they didn’t “have room.”)
The cat wasn’t licensed, so printed on this letter was the information they found when scanning the cat for a pet microchip. The microchip showed that the cat had been chipped about two years ago, the name of the owner, and this address. So hooray that the cat was chipped, but boo that the info had not been updated by the pet’s owner in the database!
Imagine the heartache of knowing you had chipped your pet in case it got lost, only to not receive notification that it was found, safe, where it was now, etc. because you hadn’t updated your info. Heart-rending. A few minutes updating your info can save you and your pet a lot of grief and frustration.
In this case, I did everything I could to find the owner. I Googled her to no avail. Then I looked her up Read more
