> The whole microchip registry thing is a mess, though. There's no authoritative database and I'm certain that the database entry for my cat is at some shelter where he was briefly held.
That form is able to find my cat's microchip information in both the registries I have her on, for example. But yes, I was surprised the pet microchip scene isn't more consolidated. Like bicycle registrations are, where the two major U.S. players are https://bikeindex.org and https://project529.com
EDIT: But I was unable to read my cat's microchip with my Flipper Zero, even though my vet confirmed it's still readable using their more appropriate tool for the job.
Yeah it is a mess, but my vet told me they use this to search across the dozens of registries in the United States: https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-...
